I "started" this blog in September of 2013 to document my second tour to Korea. My family and my heart stayed in California that long year. I think I had posted maybe twice that year... I was scared it was not going to come out "right". So I deleted those posts. Silly me. Now I do not remember the details of what it was like, to be there alone. I recall staring at the wall a lot, at the pattern on the door. I made it into a mini quilt I gave to my Grandma!
I named my blog after the song from "Rent" that goes like this:
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure - measure a year?
In daylights- in sunsets
In midnights- in cups of coffee
In inches- in miles
In laughter- in strife
I like coffee. I like lattes even more - vanilla, extra hot! Cups of coffee seems like a pretty good way to measure things, huh? But I also like sewing and playing with yarn - all the pretty colors! I want to be better at taking all the ideas I have bouncing around my head, and actually creating something.
I do not want to waste another day, or 1/3 year*, or 525,600 minutes. "Forget regret, or life is yours to miss."
*Seriously, I need to get ready now for Christmas because I get so easily distracted. :P I only mailed 6 out of the 20 cards I made for New Year's 2017. And that was in April...!
