time for may flowers.

The weather was absolutely beautiful today. I even got a little sunburned. (That's not really saying much because I get sunburned real easy.) I wore a dress and ate my lunch outside. I absolutely love this time of year. I love nice weather and I'm beggining I should relocate to some place that has this amazing weather all the time. Although I'm afraid if I do I wouldn't appreciate as much as I do now. Living in the Northwest will defintely teach a person how to appreicate nice weather.

I finish my job on the 31st and then head home sometime after June 14th. I'm excited to go home, but I know I will miss Portland a whole lot. It's such a beautiful city, especially in the sunlight. I just have my reservations about going back to the valley. Everything is just the same...everything and everybody. Nobody appreicates change, it's almost like most people are stuck in a rut. I just hope to find something different there this summer. I do hope I get into Western, just in case I decide not to come back here next year. Bellingham is really quite amazing, like a smaller Portland. It's a lot different from the valley. Thank goodness, salvation will be a mere 40 minutes away!

I have to say, that even with the bit of struggle I have encountered here, it's really all been for the best. I feel like I'm getting a better sense of who I am and what I'm capable of. It's almost like I have spend the last months trying to improve myself. I'm happy. I don't have many friends, which has just proved to me even more, that all you need in the world is yourself. I am fortunate enough to have a load of people back home who love me and I think that's been the support I've needed to get me through this rollercoaster that will be five and a half months.

I'm not sure what I will do after summer is over, I guess time will just tell. I think I will make a final decision in July/August. For now I'm going to enjoy my time here and hope for the best.

Yeah, I'm going to do what makes me happy. :)

Right now, it's looking forward to another sunny day of reading in the park...well at least until I have to go to work.

"Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hope for love, joy and celebration. Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and celebrate the joy of everyday. The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has a meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation."

Smile a lot today.
