Gifts.

Day 16 - [04.07.10]

I did say this was going to be 365 days of significance, not that it had to be significant on the day that I took the picture. And although yesterday was crazy busy and just crazy AND it was my day off, there was nothing that I remembered to take pictures of or felt like I needed to share yet. (Plus, that's what the sporadic video blogs are for! :) )

So, about the picture. This is my ring, and my granny hand. The ring is incredibly significant to me. My parents got it for me for my 18th birthday. Now, you need to understand, I am horrible with rings. I have went through so many since I have gotten this one (ones that I wore on other fingers). I tend to lose them, or misplace them. But this one hasn't even been misplaced yet! *knock on wood*

I tend to find a great deal of significance in gifts, especially ones that are unexpected or took some thought. And I tend to remember who gave me things, I mean even small things. So obviously a gift from my parents that was unexpected and thoughtful is significant to me. :)

Song of the Day:

Soulmate by Natasha Bedingfield

[I heard this song twice yesterday. Once on my way to town and once while I was listening to launchcast. I hadn't heard it in FOREVER. It always makes me think of the Bachelorette. I only watched one season but it was the one where Deanna was on and her and Jesse had the date where Natasha Bedingfield performed and she played this song. I instantly loved the song.

And no, I'm not actively "looking" yet, nor do I think I ever will be. (I feel like I need to clarify because I know what the song sounds like.) Whatever happens, happens. I'm just not ready to get hurt again. Maybe my fear of being hurt will cause me to let a good thing slip though my fingers, but I can't help it. I can't help but be guarded right now. I guess I feel like if it is meant to be I will let my guard down, whether it's unintentionally or intentionally.]
