June 28 LifeThings that have been said to me in the past week that I find amusing:
"I remembered it from my mind [when I said it]."
"I'm an artist. I move sticks with my fingers . Why can't I eat with chopsticks?"
These are actual quotes from the man this week. I don't remember why he said the first one, but it amused me and I wrote it down. The second one came during lunch at a Chinese fast food restaraunt after much frustration. It was my idea to use the chopsticks. I did successfully eat with them (he did too - it just took awhile).
I still have this notion of one day traveling to see my students in Korea. We purchased a webcam and have been visiting with one of my families. We have decided that we should attempt to have English tutoring over the Internet. I am excited about this.
I miss my students very much. Getting to see them again makes me smile. June 17 You Will Be MissedMr. Frank,
I know your eyes will never see this. I know that you have gone on to be with the Lord. The fact that you are with Him is a comfort, but you will be greatly missed. I cannot fathom the hole in the hearts of your family members and close friends. You are (were) an amazing person.
I will miss your humor. I will miss your emails, and your responses to my emails. I will miss your comments on my photographs. Your kind words have always meant so much to me.
I will miss seeing the laughter in your eyes, and the way that you lovingly looked at Ms. Katie. I will miss ya’ll’s witty banter and playfulness.
I know that you are no longer in pain, and for that I am thankful. But I miss you.
Your marriage is (was) one of highest quality and I hope that mine can follow in a glimmer of your fine example.
I will miss your hugs. I will miss seeing you in your chair at church. I will miss your emails asking me how to fix things. I will miss fixing your laptop. I will miss seeing you in your chair at your home.
Mr. Frank you are (were) a fine, fine gentleman, and I’m glad I was blessed enough to get to know you. You, sir, are (were) one of my favorite people in the whole wide world.
I love you.
June 03 Livin' Life
"I live my life a quarter mile at a time" - Vin Diesel (Dom - The Fast and the Furious) That quote seems strangely appropriate. I fell like I do everything quickly in short bursts. I accomplish the task. I win the race, and then it's on to the next race or project or short term goal. I never thought of myself as a goal person. I don't sit and make detail lists and think, "This is what I want to accomplish". That seems to me as being too hard or maybe too time consuming. I don't think I like to put myself in a box - I like my freedom. My kids are all gone. All seven of my students and their families boarded planes and returned to South Korea. I miss them. I cried with every one of them. I wonder if we'll really keep in touch. I want to. I hope they do too. I fell into the realization that people say a lot of things in the "someday" tense, myself included. "Someday" I am going to insert objective here. I don't want to be a "someday" person. I want to do things outside of my own experience. I want to grow. I do not want to become stagnant and waste away. I want to be better than I am. I don't want to exist in a small box. I don't want to live like a caged animal. I don't want to be too predictable. I want to have fun and be a fun person to be around. I don't want my life to be full of "someday". I want to start living. I want new experiences (good ones). I want the man to enjoy them with me. I don't know where to start. I want to travel. I want to see my kids in South Korea. I want... I want... I want... I just need to put some action behind those words and feelings. |
