i just wanted to list....

  1. i don't really feel like writing tonight.
  2. but i am (writing) because i feel like i need to stay in practice. for what? i don't know.
  3. i think i grew two new gray hairs today. not a terribly stressful day, but these hairs. they are new.
  4. i am becoming increasingly intolerant of noise after 4:00 pm.
  5. my girl, the one i mentor, lead worship at her incredibly hip warehouse church tonight, and i felt proud. really proud.
  6. i wish we had a way to water the earth other than rain. because rain is so...gray. like certain new hairs.
  7. going out to dinner with my husband, just the two of us, is still a treat, twenty-five years after our first date!
  8. i love to read isaiah 61 because it is just so hopeful. unlike gray hairs.

  2. I like the flow of your list. It is real, doesn't necessarily always feel pretty, but still lends a ray of hope.

    Don't feel bad about the two gray hairs. I wish I only had two ... Hey, it's all good, I'm seeing the colorist today!

    How awesome about your girl leading worship! Such a worthwhile thing to do!

  10. Rain is very unhopeful. So are snow days. Even though those are the days I get lots of reading done while I hide out in my room. Love that your girl is moving forward.

  11. what a beautiful list, gray or no. (mine come in stark, raving white. in a head of near-black. bother.)

    love you today, my dear k. you're a blessing and an encouragement and enough light for even the rainiest days.
