shelter from the storm

i seem to post late at night lately. weird.

conference was awesome. just what i needed. really, i think that every time, but that is the beauty of it. it always ends up being just what i need! how great is that? things in general lately feel like they have the potential to blow up and get pretty darn scary (does anyone else feel that way?) but then we have a weekend like that one and i feel alright again. i wish there was a way to bottle that feeling up, and every time the stress starts to get to me just whip it out and take a big... swig? whiff? whatever you do with feelings... one thing i decided i need to work on is being more grateful. (emphasis on one. there are way more than one.) i am going to make a list - every day from now until thanksgiving i will write down at least one thing, and then post it! doesn't that sound fun? you all can do it with me, if you want.
