Xanga-Neglect
I’ve realized in the past few days that in order to write good xanga entries, I really have to collect my thoughts throughout my days in order to translate my thoughts into some organized structure in order to communicate them. I realize this because I haven’t been doing this in the last few days – which explains the superficial entries.
I’ve been spending most of my time thinking about, planning, praying and preparing for the future. Some items on my thought list:
1. My Niece/Nephew’s Entrance into the World (any day now!)
