things i'm thankful for:

1--God's ability to grant freedom and rest.
2--peace in the midst of pain.
3--jake severino, who just said "if you press on pennies, will they fly?" and is asking me to cut out letters from paper.
4--amanda being in spain.

5--peanut butter.
6--sharpies.
7--thunderstorms.
8--asian people.
9--old blind dogs
10--california.

Behind each of these is a million memories. Thank you God for moments. And for teaching me that this moment is the place to be. And for showing me that you are like an ocean and I am like a drop of rain. you dip me down into who you are and what you are doing, you make me part of that bigger thing, then you return me to you.

Ashley,

I haven't talked to you in ages! You have flown off on yet another adventure and I'm in my homely state of Ohio. I've been thinking a lot about college and the whole life plan, and I was thinking about you. I want to thank you for being such an inspiration to me. You are such an amazingly selfless and compassionate person, thank you. Your spirit is so refreshing. I would love to e-mail you... mine is labellevie24@yahoo.com

Sincerly,
Cameron
(your former and beloved barista)
