You rarely win, but sometimes you do.

It's snowing like crazy here in New York! Brrr.

I'm so tired of my conventional, rambling posts.

But, at the same time, I'm quite proud of my dedication to this blog. Even though I have one follower, my stats are looking better, and hey, persistence is the key. 

So this week I've definitely gotten to know people in my life much better; mostly in the negative way. It astounds me how people can put on such an act when you initially meet them, and then their true colors shine through. I get so caught up in trying to love them for who they were when I first met them, instead of trying to decipher whether I should forgive their MANY faults and just dig deep and find all their perfections. Now, I know for a fact everybody has faults. I have so many, but the person/people I'm talking about have way more than acceptable. I'm deciding whether to confront them or not, but hey, for now it's definitely not my major problem. Anyone know anyone like that?

A FEW MORE WEEKS UNTIL I GET MY ACCEPTANCE LETTER! I'm definitely nervous, for now all I can do is pray. 
 That reminds me, I've been so neglectful of my prayers lately. I fall asleep before I get the chance. I need a good routine, I've yet to befriend this person(thing) named *sleep*. Please sleep, I need you, come into my life!
 
Oh, and I've been glued to To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Love, love, love that book! Once I'm finished with that, onto Palo Alto by James Franco.:)
"-I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see through it no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do."
Such a powerful line from To Kill A mockingbird. Makes you grow in courage right when your eyes read it. I think all of us go through with things when we know we might not come away with the best outcome, but we do it anyways, because we see that golden sliver in all the rust. That one thing we want more than anything, though it's highly unlikely, we give it all we got and we push through and in the best of times, we snatch that golden sliver. Courage is beautiful. Without it, I'd be weaker than I was when I took my first breath. Courage has helped me to keep on moving, even when it looks like there's a dead end ahead.Turns out, it was just a hidden turn. 

Hope everyone's holidays are joyful and smiles fill you all.
Almost 2011! 
How time flies, but we made it through the ups and downs of another year. I've got a feeling 2011 will have it's golden moments. 

Courage and Love,
Isabelle
