Oh-Blah-Dee

Generally my childhood memories are lumped together in happiness and candy related moments but I have one very vivid memory. I am pretty sure I was about seven years old and I’m sitting in the front pew at church right next to my best friend. It had become a regular routine - every (at least it felt like it was every) Sunday I went over to her house for lunch and playtime after service was over but before you knew it - the afternoon was over and it was back home to go to bed for school the next day.

This particular Sunday I sat there and had a thought which made me very frustrated. “Why do I even go over to her house... before you know it, I’ll be headed home... going to bed... the fun-time will be over.” (obviously I was wise beyond my years)

Fast forward 20 years. Before I knew it... Here I am... The fun’s not over, but it’s definitely changed. Where did all that time go? Life moves way too fast.


I snapped this photo on my walk... Generally I notice graffiti and tagging here and there, but this one caught my eye (for obvious reasons). I was in this particular spot several weeks ago when I blogged about unrequited love... It’s fitting that someone returned to leave this message.

  3. Oh, that is fitting-- I wonder if was related? I can't believe people who spray paint other peoples' property, but I have to admit that I actually enjoy it when it's well done, thought-provoking, and on "public" property.
