Just because I'm losing, doesn't mean I'm lost.

Amazing. Life changing. Seriously unforgettable. Truly the best live show I have ever been to. Thanks to my dear friend, I got to see Coldplay Live! Just in time, as Chris Martin said they wouldn't be back in San Diego for at least 4 YEARS! I would drive, fly wherever, to see them again.

The show did not ever disappoint. It was worth the 8 hours of waiting and trying to get home...to see Coldplay give the 2 most amazing hours worth of songs and charisma. They came up to the Lawn and played an acoustic set for us...complete with a cover of Billie Jean, A serenade from Will the drummer, and an acoustic version of one of my favorites, Green Eyes. On their way up to the lawn they came up the stairs right next to our seats. Unfortunately my camera snapped a second too late :(

The Highlights: Lovers in Japan. One of the last songs played before the encore. We sat under a rain fall of colored butterflies. Yellow surprised us with a plethora of gigantic yellow balloons being thrown all over the ampitheatre. And the encore of just Chris and his piano playing The Scientist. I cannot gush enough over the wonder of this concert!

An unforgettable experience!

a blueberry life!

Hmmm...this has been a rather pensive week. To end a such a week I got up early this morning with a burdening desire to bake blueberry muffins.

It is quiet in the house, only the sound of my keyboard clicking, and the oven warming is heard. My soul feels calm in this quiet. For once. Perhaps I need more quiet in my life. Then again, too much quiet can lead down other disasterous paths.

Life is hard right now. More is going on than I had thought. It is that sort of melding of good and bad things together that creates this beautiful mess. And I am slowly but surely trying to figure my way down this path. This path laid with dreams, vision, splendor, and wonder, but also firmly cemented in heartache, loneliness, rejection, death, and struggle.

God, I pray for a calm heart as I travel down this path. The one in which I strive to marry my dreams with reality. A harder struggle than I had ever imagined.
