Tonight i tried out for the Spring play with Keisha and it went great---I am not worried about getting a part, so anything would be great, I think it would just be fun being in a play. So today went great and still is! Tomarrow he is going to post the results- hopefully- then i will be even happier- even if i get a tiny part.

Tonight i am going to the little-kid choir concert(middle-school) so that should be cool.

My dad is getting back this weekend and then i get see him for the first time in 2 monthes. I will get spoiled with the gifts that he is bringing and we are going to celebrate my birthday cause he missed it... I am having the greatest time!!

My older sister is over for the night and we are laughing it up about the stupidest things! And just being sibling-and having fun....I have alot of fun with my sisters alot more than even I would think! 

All is great

Thanks

Katie.

 Good Job Kim for guessing the What is it?!  There is a new one up check it out!

I was looking for a poem with my older sister about happiness and this one came up and made us laugh so:

The Butterfly

Look, a butterfly. Did you make a wish?

You don't wish on butterflies.

You do so. Did you make one?

Yes.

It doesn't count.

I worked today and had to miss the basketball game - so if anyone knows the score post it on my message board.

The day has been great and relaxing. I went to a movie with my family - Spenglish. It was a pretty good movie- but it was way to long. It spent a long time saying pretty much nothing. And the ending was a lose-lose situation. Anyway things are going just great!

Tomarrow is a huge day with the band breakfast and the YAM jam thing. Im looking forward to it. Hope all is well with you and if you have nothing to do come to the yam jam thing from 1-4 at the high school auditorium.

Thanks

Katie

 Distances

Swifts turn in the heights of the air;
higher still turn the invisible stars.
When day withdraws to the ends of the earth
their fires shine on a dark expanse of sand.

We live in a world of motion and distance.
The heart flies from tree to bird,
from bird to distant star,
from star to love; and love grows
in the quiet house, turning and working,
servant of thought, a lamp held in one hand.

~ Philippe Jaccottet ~

Short day at school today. But I do nothing with the early release. I kind of feel lost and bored. I have been in a very writing mood the last couple of days and I think I am just going to type. All that is in me now, I am just going to express it cause it is going crazy inside of me!

With spring now approaching I feel like I should step back and look at my life. What am I doing? Where do I want to go? Am I happy with the person i am? Well- I think things are going all right. At the moment my life needs a little spring cleaning(along with my room), and one of these days I am going to clean. Life! I have a list of things to do, yet i feel like doing them not. Each morning I get up, refreshed. The long nights often wake up to bright mornings and sleep seems to be something of a dream... Don't know where my road is going... but every day is just another step to that ending we all look too. Am i talking the time to enjoy the scenery? I hope to think so. The mystery of the future gives my stomach butterflies that fly all the way to my head, and all they do is distract me!

So I am feeling a high on life at the moment. Each day is something great that leads to more greatness. I fear for the day when my mornings turn to grey and the brightness is lost.

These are my thoughts for the day

Thanks

Katie

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.

We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

Of those so close behind me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.

Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lonely worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air;
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.

This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.

Though it is pretty late- I'll post one for today anyway.

So I just finished watching Braveheart. Great movie! The music, the action, the gore, well it was really bloody... but good! It almost made me cry. If I wouldn't have been interupted by Alicia's rude bekoning to Band practice, I maybe would have felt the moment and shed a few tears but... nope sorry.

Though practice was good... Koets kid is a hoot!! He should bring him to every practice. Well that's about it.

Early Release tomarrow!! hope all is good,

Thanks

Katie

 Sorry Steve- I'll put yours on as tomarrows - not enough time tonight!
