If this is nearly the same as another post, I apologize (and I'll delete one once I see that).  I tried a new tblog thing- e-mailed a new post, but as of yet, it hasn't shown up.  and I didn't make a copy, so that's sad.  I can see no advantage of e-mailing vs. posting a blog the traditional way as of yet.  At least for myself.  If I used e-mail via cell phone or other wireless devices, I could see that maybe being an advantage...

My birthday ended up great!  I couldn't ask for a better time with some of the best people in the world.  If not the best, at least among my favorites.

I may be moving again, and that may be soon.  Moving perhaps to even the same zipcode- no plans of going great distances, but moving nonetheless.  The main factor is Amber has had it (mostly with bugs) with our current place.  We're considering a 4-bedroom townhouse (with two other women, one of whom I nominally know).  I just feel rushed and pressured about it and it doesn't seem like a better deal than the current one.  But I haven't seen it, and I was told it's beautiful, so maybe that matters.  I would love to live closer to church and work (it's not)... I need a roommate regardless.  In hopes of balancing my negativity: Here is a website that compares all sorts of statistics on communities across the U.S.: Sperling's Best Places There is a ton of info, so I just basically browsed, but 'cost of living' and 'demographics' piqued my interest.  Also, air quality.  I wonder what places have good air quality?  One place I've lived was a 2 (with 100 being excellent) and the best I've found so far was 51 (in Florida).  I can't believe that going out for 'fresh air' could actually be more dangerous or unhealthy than staying inside.

Sometimes you (I) need a shove, including at this very point in my life :)  I don't feel quiet the same way as Dumbo is expressing, at least not to that degree.  I do see great possibilities before me.  and I do have great, encouraging friends that very well may give me the push I need.  I used to think those crows were obnoxious, and they were well could be, as well as troublemakers, but does it matter when the results are someone finding his/her potential and flying, so to speak?  I think it's beautiful to think of someone who is using what was previously mocked or brought them shame to then astonish them all.  I don't mean it in a showy sense- I mean to point out that we (myself included) often focus on the negative or limitations instead of possibilities, so when reality sets in and risks are taken and hope is in action, it can be a beautiful thing.  I think Timothy the Mouse is great, too.  He saw a big picture.  He saw what Dumbo dared not to dream, and encouraged him along the way.  I know some 'mice' like that.  How wonderful!!
