"But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me,  and through each night I sing his songs,  praying to God who gives me life." Pslam 42: 8

It's a bit of a contemplative week for me and I find myself writing more than usual. Not in my blogs but I'm trying to finish a story that I've been working on. It's been in progress for a year actually and I haven't gotten far. But this week, I'm inspired. I always need a good song or a certain picture or a phrase of sorts to get me going. Sometimes it's even a good conversation that kick starts those creative juices. This time round, I have Bon Iver to fuel me up. Go read up about the band. There's a pretty cool story of how the name came about. Bon Iver's kinda poetic to me. I discovered it a few years ago and it's my go-to band when I'm in that melancholy state. It doesn't happen as often these days. But it's a good balance of ups and downs. Right now, it's helping me write so maybe, hopefully I'll finish this piece by Christmas.  :)

Today i found/rediscovered some new music. I love when that happens.

OWh what a birthday gift! New Switchfoot video! RESTLESS I am the sea on a moonless night Calling falling, slipping tides I am the leaky, dripping pipes The endless, aching drops of light I am the raindrop falling down Always longing for the deeper ground I am the broken, breaking seas Even my blood finds ways to bleed Even the rivers ways to run  Even the rain to reach the sun Even my thirsty streams  Even in my dreams I am restless, restless, restless Looking for you I am restless I run like the ocean to find your shore Looking for you I am the thorn stuck in your side I am the one that you left behind I am the dried-up doubting eyes Looking for the well that won't run dry Running hard for the other side The world that I've always been denied Running hard for the infinite With the tears of saints and hypocrites Oh, blood of black and white and grey Oh, death in life and night in day One by one by one We let our rivers run I can hear you breathing I can feel you leading ...

Today I celebrate my 28th year of existence. It's been a somewhat contemplative year where life has taken almost every sombre moment and turned it around. It's not like I've been a shining rainbow on speed but it's left me much more appreciative of the people and things around me. Many a day, I wake up and I choose 'Happy' . If I had to choose one word to sum up the year, it would be refreshing . After 27, life sped on and turned amazing. Sure there were glitches and down days and simply awful things and memories, outgrowing of things and lots of rainy days but amazing things still happened in the year of 27. The year of 28 feels NEW .  It's like a clean slate and miles and miles of hope. Today I celebrate my last year of single-hood. It's supposed to be a milestone which I'm writing down to remember. I know it's just a number and people stop counting and stop remembering birthdays after 21 or so. But I'm honoured to be given 28. I...
