Gettysburg. Actually I've been here since yesterday afternoon for a work conference which ends tomorrow. Then it's back to Philly and my "real life". I trekked through some of the battlefields and perused through some monuments with a couple of co-workers this evening. It was weird knowing that I was standing on a field where thousands of men died and it was crazier to think that the American Civil War took place only about a hundred and fifty years ago. It was eerie think that I was standing on a "graveyard" of some sort. I'll have to come back and do some more exploring, being the history whore that I am. I truly am my father's daughter.
Have a good night all!
About Me
- Joy
- I am a woman with a high-spirited soul. I love God with all my heart, mind and soul. I love the pitter patter of rain and the city lights, the quaintness of old brick roads and buildings, and the fresh scent of a hiking trail and the silence of a book shelf. I have an eclectic taste in music ranging from the oddity of Sufjan Stevens to the sassiness of Taylor Swift. I know the difference between saffron and sage, among other things, and I almost know what tumeric is. I believe in the contagiousness of joy and the basic sweetness of life. Nice things often happen to me - answered prayers, flowers from friends, unexpected phone calls from far away friends, the discovery of delectable desert shops, sweet cards and packages in the mail, and laughter till your tummy hurts. Some things I have but don't use as much as I maybe should are markers and crayons, a passport, a somewhat "perfect pitch", a slip-'n-slide, a camera and common sense. I have a big God who loves me, a beagle/french bull dog mix named Georgie who drives me up the wall yet whom I adore at the same time, and three things I prize: warmth, grace and brains.
