I Want To Hold You In My Arms Forever

I have goals this week.
1. No more Diet Soda. The sodium makes my water retention sky rocket.
2. Make a smoothie for once in my life.
3. More water.
4. Make Jesus time.

I'd like to get to a point where I don't have to pencil Jesus in. He'll just be there. I was reading one of Chris' devotionals on Friday and it said to think of your relationship with God from his perspective. Would I want to be my friend if I treated myself the way I treat God? The answer? Absolutely not.

To God, I'm one of those friends who goes silent for weeks until I have a problem. Or a wish. Or a pressing inquiry. Next time, I think I'll go to God to thank for him for this nice crisp weather we're having.

On Health
I'ma start tracking my food here. Boring for you. Productive for me. I'm not counting calories. I'm trying to get an overall idea of what I eat and when I'm eating it. I need to figure out why I'm so absolutely ravenous at night when that is when I should be eating my smallest meals.

On Love
Long distance makes the hankering linger. I just miss him. Heartache will always feel like it is solely your own. But, I know there is a grandiose community of lonely people in this world. I mean, we thrive on this stuff. Without it, we'd be fresh out of love songs and novels and movies and plays and fine art.

Loneliness (regardless of the reason, be it distance or unrequited love) is universal.

And yet... at the time, it will always feel like no one can begin to fathom my pain.

What a selfish species we are, huh?

Ah well. The bed beckons. G'night, fine people.
