Listening to some Simon & Garfunkel on this dark quiet evening. I love the feelings i get listening to their voices...it brings me goosebumps as I remember sitting on the textured arm chair in our old house, listening to the record. Music has always played a big part in my life, songs that I listen to will bring back memories, feelings, and even smells. Music has inspired me to a lot of things in my life, to forget a lot of things and it got me through a lot of things. I think it really soothes my soul and I am thankful for the gift of music that God blesses us with. I felt somewhat burnt out today, I think due to some dehydration, (too much coffee), I have been forgetting to take my iron, and trying to train a bit for this police run on Saturday....I have lacked the ambition to do any exercise since I quit my classes. That being said, I have thoroughly enjoyed the time I have managed to get away for a run and liked the sweat dripping down my face...feels good. I do miss Darryl tonight, his loving, encouraging things he would always say to me to motivate me. The way he would put the boys to bed in the evening, I am afraid I fall short of his enthusiasm by the time 7:15 rolls around. Still, I feel blessed to be experiencing these feelings, it has brought me so much enrichment.
Darryl passed his practical exam yesterday and we were both thankful, since not everyone did. His weeks seem to be getting busier, and so he can only manage to squeeze a few minutes with the boys each night on the phone. But it is really all they need and about the amount of time their attention span has for the phone, so it works out nicely.
I didn't make it to Bible Study this evening, and considering it was the kick off evening, I am hoping to make the next one. I had planned to put the boys down at Nellie's since the study was there, but I had neither the energy nor the will. It was nice to sit and relax, and have a hot cup of tea..and think too much. 23 more days...
