"daybreak."

i haven't spent a friday night at home in awhile...so i suppose this is the night to change that. in fact, aside from going to costco and church, i spent most of the day at home which is something i don't often do and has been quite surprising for me. so what have i done with my time? donate clothes, reorganize items, clean my room, empty out a desk i'm giving away/demolishing (most likely...it's demolition time!), and throwing away bags full of things i don't use/need/want anymore. and when i wasn't working on that...i watched a whole lot of gossip girl, iron man, and wedding crashers which were all on youtube. viva la youtube!

and speaking of which...consider me addicted to gossip girl. i have something to look forward to on monday nights now beside football, heroes, and the occasional bowling session.

this has been an unexpectedly humbling and contemplative day for me. i've found, sorted out, and thrown away so many items in my room that have reminded me of many things in the past...accomplishments, failures, joys, and sufferings. it's been very helpful in maintaining and nurturing my focus on the present and future. we are here in the present because of what has happened in the past, and the future is what becomes of our present...and it's amazingly as simple as that and surprisingly forgettable when we get caught up. as today ends and another day begins, i've gain more perspective and more passion...which is why no matter what, tomorrow is a better day.
