Valentine's Day

Steamers Jazz Cafe in downtown Fullerton

Feeling blah...

Perhaps it's because I'm supposed to start menstruating this week; Maybe because I'm feeling overwhelmed by the tragedies of life; Maybe because I feel exhausted just thinking of what I should be doing now; Maybe it's because I'm disgusted by the minimal responsibility people don't do (or help) other people; Maybe it's because I'm horrified over the world's atrocities; Slowly, it's eating me up inside

I finally checked out the Fullerton Arboretum, located at Cal State Fullerton. Relaxing, tranquil; it helped me gather my thoughts and rejuvenate my energy. And yes, sometimes crying is necessary, a coping method we all need...at least from time to time. Still feeling damper, fortunately I feel slightly better.

This week is the 2nd week of Lent; Additionally, it is Val's 24th bday in combination with St.Valentine's Day. I can only hope it will be a better week....

Dear Lord, please help me in my personal battles; Dear Lord, please help the world and all the people and things in it; Please enlighten us all to help us choose better decisions in our lives; Accepting those that we cannot change and a bigger H O P E we can look forward to.
