I wrote this in my journal a while back

Hey, I’m Andi.

I freak out easily.

About good things and bad things.

I use Vaseline for a variety of reasons everyday.

Its very multipurpose.

I like to dance about.

Sometimes I daydream.

About a song,

a smell,

a memory,

an item in a retail store.

Then, before you know it,

I have concocted an entire delusional life plan

around whatever it was.

I hate the top sheet on a bed.

I always kick it down.

I have a Savior.

I really do.

I so often fall short of my responsibilities

to Him.

Still, it’s not about what I have done.

I love to craft beautiful things out of ordinary things.

Sorta like a hipster would do.

If, you know, perhaps they became as cool

as me.

People often say they are “blessed beyond belief”

and such.

But I actually really am.

Like I seriously do not get it.

No two days should be the same.

I have a passion for women’s health and wellness.

I’m a big believer in:

how a little understanding goes a long way,

doing nice things for people whenever you can,

a lot of laughter.

If I tease you,

it is because I love you.

I like to move forward, get places, and be busy.

But, I also enjoy an occasional silent moment alone

to write,

or think,

to listen to music,

or watch some occasional low quality reality series.

There is no plural for the word series.

My favorite moments usually include one, or a combination of:

(in no particular order)

my family, Zach, girl friends, shopping, food, music,

talking to a stranger (in a public place of course), board games,

learning something fascinating, making a new friend, running, my bed.

I think that being healthy

and in a good state of fitness,

will enhance your life.

I wish my life was so many things.

I want to be so many things.

I wish I did a lot of things that I am not doing.

I wish I did not do some of the things that I do do.

But this- right now-

Is my life.

And I just happen to love it.

I love getting there, and being here, 

whether it’s against all odds,

or with all the help in the world.

And, it doesn’t really matter in the end, because

My prayer is still and will always be:

To God be the glory for it all.
