You know... I don't really have go to songs for when I'm "happy, sad, mad or hyped..." So this is hard for me. I don't know whether to lie to you, give my guess best or just skip this post.

I guess I'll just a list a few songs that I have a tendency to just come back to over and over again. Songs that I just love to listen on repeat regardless of my mood--they are simply just... good.

"Already Yours" by Bahamas

"A Sunday Kind of Love" by Etta James

"Blood Bank" by Bon Iver

"Heart of Glass" by Blondie

"You and Your Eyes" by The Walling Jrs

"The Wind" by Cat Stevens

"Warm Love" by Van Morrison

"Airplanes" by Local Natives

"September" by Earth Wind Fire

"Love Lust" by King Charles

"I'm Going Down" by Vampire Weekend

"Between two lungs" by Florence and the Machine

"Off the Record" by My Morning Jacket

"Wrecking Ball" by Mother Mother

"Blackbird/Yesterday" by The Beatles

"Walking" The Dodos

"A Shot in the Arm" by Wilco

"I Cant Decide" by Scissor Sisters

Eh. This could become a long list. So I'll stop. All in all, I have a lot of music that is good for all sorts of moods... it's more intuitively based rather than giving myself a cure or high.

My pride and joy.

I bought this old desk from Good Will last quarter and never got around to sanding it down/painting it until last weekend. It was my first time doing something crafty in this nature, I honestly hadn't a clue what I was doing. Nonetheless, it turned out to be a really fun and fairly cathartic. I wish I had a before picture, the metamorphosis thoroughly exceeded my expectations.

And of course, finally getting a desk has made doing college so much easier.

What God is teaching me.

Patience in sickness.

The joy of laughter.

Humility during brokenness.

In my weakness, I find his strength.

The irreplaceable importance of friendship and family.

Value of health (mental and physical).

The depth of our world's sorrow and extremity of oppression (circa women specifically).

Perseverance and hope.

The meaning of hard work and no pay off.

Achieving solitude in loneliness.

The need for a clean room.

The delight in a good meal.

Everyday He breathes a little more wisdom into my life. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes its glorious.
