i love surprises

Someone I know recently talked about practicing what he called "awareness". He talked about just being aware of his surroundings, his thoughts, and his emotions as much as he can. I've been trying to add being "aware" to my list of everyday activities. It's actually harder than you would think.

The past few days, when I've truly absorbed everything around me and everything I'm feeling internally, I've been amazed at how much I miss.

Tonight, I was surprised by a scary picture of Jenny as a clown when she was a child and by Jonathan coming to Chattanooga State's Fine Arts celebration thing.

I was quickly aware of how much I love surprises, my friends, and life in general.

Needless to say, I am too happy to go to sleep.
