Rambling.

I learn something every day. Today's lesson has been how much t-bone steaks typically weigh and that they cost way, way too much. Seriously, $9.99 a pound? Thanks, but no thanks, I'll stick with some pasta. It's funny though, learning. I remember when I was a teenager and thought I knew everything. Yes, literally, everything... and if I didn't, well I would have never admitted to it. 

Now, though, I feel like I know nothing. Like I should be on the constant trying to learn and fill my brain with sometimes useless information that at the moment seems so necessary. One day I'll figure out what all this researching, information and time spend reading and writing and thinking is going to amount to.

Speaking of learning, right now I'm on kick to learn any and everything about Dublin, London and Paris. And it's so interesting. There are so many things that these places offer that Alabama doesn't. Maybe I'm placing them too high on a pedestal, but really, the more and more I read and learn and research the more I fall in love with places I have never been. I don't know if that's normal, but for right now, it's my normal.

It's so hard to focus on the present when I have so many things to look forward to in the future.

In August/September I'll be traveling to El Salvador with Living Water International. I've never even ventured out of the country but am so excited, so humbled, that I'll be getting to take part in this. The fact that there are people in this world that do not have clean water, something we all take for granted each and every day, astonishes me. The impact that this trip will have on their lives, and mine, will be something that I never fully understand, but something that will stay on my heart for the rest of time. It'll be kind of like a breathe of fresh air coursing through me to remind me how amazing I have it and how much I take for granted. And hopefully it will be a huge course of humble pie on my part. Prayers. So many prayers for this trip are already taking place and I hope that if you read this you'll include me, the team going and the people who we will be with in the communities of El Salvador in your thoughts.

Ten days until Disney. There's really nothing I can say other than I hope that I don't cry when I walk into the gates. I don't know why, but I truly believe this will be one of the most magical trips of my life.

All of this is kind of just a brain dump. I need some place for my thoughts and ramblings to be put down so I can look back in life and remember where I was, all the stumbling blocks I face and over take and just exactly how far I've come in life, love and happiness.
