2005: Every day is one step closer to ________.

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:25,27,34

"Always concentrate on how far you have come, rather than how far you have left to go. The difference in how easy it seems will amaze you."

"Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible."

"Sometimes I wish I was a little girl again--because bruised knees heal faster than broken hearts."

those are just a few quotes i found that i really like. i've been thinking alot lately. alot about alot of stuff. the future, where my life is headed, if i'm doing the right things in my life right now, friendships, camp and salt staff, summer, marcus and where that whole situation is going, .........i wish my guardian angel could tell me everything so i could just stop worrying.

i remember a while back when in one entry i described how i thought life was like roads. now i thought of how life is like a car. some are beautiful and expensive, some are crappy and junky, some don't work and just knonk out, all of them go through problems and get old and eventually go to the junk yard. you can drive your life where you want it to go- no limits. but some drive where they wanna go, some don't know where they're going, others end up lost and confused. all cars (lives) have mirrors to look back at whats behind you- the past. some pasts are beautiful and you wanna go back, others are horrid and you wish to never return. im sorry this is deep. i'll stop.....

so today i had to cut this one lady's grass. next door to her is a family with 2 little girls and their mom and dad. the younger of the 2 had the hose out and it was on pretty hard. she decided to water/kill the flowers. i laughed inside- seeing myself do the same thing when i was younger.... the good old days

i cant wait for vacation. i get to spend 10 days with brookley, and 7 with danni and ian. i never see those guys. and brooke n danni are my sisters. i've known them for over 10 years. wow.

so i'm so bummed that alex won't be up there this week because he has to babysit his stuipd neighbors.......dumb boy.

lol yesterday at the hospital was a boring but amusing time. leah was flipping out cuz her neighbor wouldnt shut up, then kathy called her husband and told the guy to tell her husband that she was her husband's girlfriend- lisa. SO funny.

i went tanning yesterday. burned my butt real bad. i have burn lines on my butt from where the lights in the bed are. i'm so dumb.

im nervous to find out what cabin and counselor i'm with.....

once again i will repeat the address:
Emily Waldorf
Camp Phillip
W9944 Buttercup Ave.
Wautoma, WI 54982

i have to go pack now. all of you have a great week. and heck, if you're bored. write to me! I miss you all and can't wait to see you-sometime soon hopefully. Take care, stay strong, keep smiling, God Bless.
Emily

i will leave you with some thoughts:

~If prayer does not drive sin out of your life, sin will drive prayer out.
~To realize the worth of the anchor, we need to feel the storm.
~"What's the future? It's a blank sheet of paper, and we draw lines on it, but sometimes our hand is held, and the lines we draw aren't the lines we wanted."

life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
life is beauty, admire it.
life is a dream, realize it.
life is a challenge, meet it.
life is a duty, complete it.
life is a game, play it.
life is a promise, fulfill it.
life is sorrow, overcome it.
life is a song, sing it.
life is a struggle, accept it.
life is a tradgedy, confront it.
life is an adventure, dare it.
life is luck, make it.
life is too precious, do not destroy it.
life is life, fight for it.

When you pass through the waters, i will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. ~Isaiah 43:2
