i was sitting pretty close to julie, who was talking on her cell phone for the first ten minutes that i had been sitting there reading. not meaning to eavesdrop, i heard and loved something that she said:
"well be happy that life is still hard. that means that there is more for you to still do and become -- it means that God hasn't given up on you as a person."
we talked after she got off of the phone, and she is an incredibly practical, optimistic person. she left me feeling like i was the coolest 19 year old in the world. interesting, huh? i have found that the most dynamic people out there have a tendency of making other people feel as though they are the great ones. i want to be like this-- one who validates others the way she does!
