second star to the right...

...and straight on till morning.

that's how you get to Neverland. where you never grow up.
flying to Neverland with Peter Pan would be pretty nice right now, i think.

i guess growing up is just getting kinda monotonous.

i'm getting surgery soon. january 3rd. {click for details on why.} i don't know what it's gonna be like. i've never even broken a bone; i don't really know what a lot of physical pain feels like. i don't know what it's gonna be like to be on heavy-duty pain killers. i don't know how soon i'm gonna be able to focus; don't know how soon i'm gonna be able to sit at a piano. i know it's God's plan for me, though, to undergo it. so be it.

before surgery, though, there are a few things going on. college auditions, for one. every note of every scale is a song of praise to God. that's the attitude He's given me; i'm grateful. finishing the semester is another thing. doesn't mean too much; psychology class will end but that's about all. i'll be sad about that; i love pscyh. Christmas is another thing... now *that's* something i'm excited for :) I love the holiday season.

thankful for cozy clothes. thankful for seeing a close friend for the first time in three months. thankful for green tea with pomegranate and little boys who want to take sips of it. thankful for a coffee date with a Mama who's strong and faithful to remind me of truth. thankful for siblings who make me laugh to no end. thankful for early bedtimes. thankful that life is relatively stress-free. thankful for God's grace that's carried me all my life. the end.
