Burn to shine

Went to Goblin Valley camping with some friends last weekend. Here we are looking very drowsily happy after a long sleepless, rainy, windy, thundery, lightingy, haily, sleep in a puddly, boney hip to the bare groundy night. This is also about the only picture that I look relatively decent in. Amazing, really, for getting zero hours on the sleep clock the night before. Top it off with half of our group getting pulled over and ticketed on the ride home and the other half *almost* running out of gas between goblin valley and Price. Man I slept great Saturday night. Wouldn't trade it all for the world... :)

Unselfishness Drei

Just when I am so anxious about those around me being selfish at my expense, they prove me wrong. Is it my own (almost forced) recent perceptions? Or have people around me actually been putting forth more of an effort to be unselfish? As much as I like to think I'm an influencing factor in people's lives...it's probably just that they have always been this way and I didn't notice it. Once again, it was my roomate (the other one, this time) that impressed me with her unselfishness and kind consideration of my feelings. So much so, that I was almost overwhelmed with gratitude as I pondered upon it last night. I'm scared to ruin this seemingly new attitude by thanking her. It almost seems best to just say nothing and say a prayer of thanks instead. Is that selfish? Heh.
