Oregon has a new govenor, and a #2 football team

The weekend went well we had fun.  Most likely more fun than we should have, but there's no record of that. 

So I think my favorite color is green which is an odd thing to say if you are older than ten.  But I think it means something.  Like I could use that to create more peace.  I wish I had more peace in my life.  I know that is something that I do have control over.  Real peace comes from God

Make Me An Instrument of Your Peace
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console,
not so much to be understood as to understand,
not so much to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
it is in dying that we awake to eternal life.

--- St. Francis of Assisi

I like St. Francis a lot.  He cured me of my fear of dogs.  Thank you St. Francis.  You gave up every thing, and focused your life on God.  Help me understand what God asks of me, and how I can be in instrument of peace to others in this cacophonous world.

I'm trying to have more friends.  I need more friends.  It feels weird like I should know how to do this, or not have to do this.  Like do I really need to learn how to ride a bicycle all over again?  Yes! you dummy!  You have no friends!  So tomorrow should be a good day.  I'm meeting Galina at her house. 

I'm hoping tomorrow to be more productive.  Maybe I will finish that tree skirt.  Today is a good day to make some lists.  I think I will figure out how to do that.
