it's late. [actually: it's early.]
i just applied the loveliest shade of {rusty-colored} nail polish to my fingers & toes.
bought it @ walgreens tonight for 99 cents, thankyouverymuch.
*along with a couple trusty {snickers ice cream bars} for me & the mr.
i'm happy.
smiling & going about my usual angie-"evening" alone.
doin' some dishes, rockin' some tunes, facebooking, reflecting, pondering & planning.
i feel light.
it feels good,
'cause ya know-
for a long time i think i got used to my heart feeling really heavy.
full of emotion and stress and worry and doubt and overall yuckiness.
*feelings that i just assumed were my fate in adulthood.
but as it turns out.
i've learned that's not my fate at all.
{not even close actually!}
there's a happier way of living.
being of good cheer is decidedly the better option.
i strive for it.
lightheartedness doesn't come so easily to me though.
i am a very sensitive, soft shelled girl.
there are {still} times my feelings are so tender, i break down inside with every insinuated offense.
my re-occuring worry is being misunderstood by others. my intentions. my heart.
the point of this post, is to express gratitude & thanksgiving
for a savior who makes all things good and right and fair and peaceful again for me.
*at the close of everyday.
i don't know how i could journey through this life without the knowledge that i have a brother who has felt every loneliness, hurt, or worry i have or will experience.
i feel like i mention this a lot on my blog- broken record style- but it's a fundamental truth that honestly makes my world go round.
i hope for every child of god on this earth to know of the atonement of christ & the healing effects it has on the human spirit.
tonight, i am grateful to know that
" i can do all things through christ which strengtheneth me."

I love reading your blog because I think in some ways we're the same person. It's good to know that the over- emotioned, stressed, worried heart of mine isn't my eternal fate, because it sure feels that way sometimes...
