hello all.

hope your weeks have been lovely.

mine certainly has been. {despite my unsuccessful relationship with biology}

we had our first snow fall today in spokane, however it was early this morning and i was unfortunately sleeping :(. i did, however step in a small pile of melting snow on my way to pick up some education forms. i was pretty excited. tonight is supposed to snow even more. so prepare yourselves for some pictas. this time hopefully a.) i'll be awake for some winter wonderland action and b). it will stick so ill have some pictures to share.

a few weeks ago i mentioned my little 'to be continued' sequence i put at the bottom of each and every post, with a promise to explain it later and my dear cecilia has so nicely reminded me that i have yet to do so.

so with that, here it is:

a couple months ago, before having decided on a college, but in the midst of that lengthy decision i was doing some research. just looking on the college websites and such, exploring the pictures and videos each university would post. well i came to gonzaga's website and i was looking through their videos and came to one called '{true zags}'. about 3 minutes into the video the narrator starts talking about one of the jesuits here at gu, father tony lehhman. she spoke of his deep passion for relationships; how he believed that relationships were at the heart of everything we do in life. another narrator goes on to speak about how father lehhman would end each conversation with the phrase "to be continued" insinuating that although that conversation had ended, the relationship that was cultivated in those few moments was to be continued in some way or another, at some point in the future. that 'goodbye' was simply not the end.

this struck such a cord in me for some reason. i am not exactly sure why, but i do agree that the relationships we accumulate throughout our lives should always be continued. circumstances often come along which make this somewhat difficult at times but essentially no conversation or interaction should be left as is. instead they should always be evolving, changing and growing.

this realization then led me to believe that all things in life should never be at a stand still, but instead should always continue on in the hopes of discovering the full potential possible.

how cool is it to think that everything in life is essentially continuing? i think i just loved that father lehhman put that thought into verbal affirmation on a daily basis. maybe reminding himself of that very fact.

when i started this blog i immediately thought of putting that at the end of each post as a reminder to myself and others to live life as a continuing sequence of events.

to always look forward and never back.

i urge you to mentally be aware that the conversations and interactions you have on a daily basis should never be at a stand still, but instead be in search of the opportunities they allow you in your future endeavors.

be in search. be in discovery.

and

may the interactions, conversations and relationships in your life

always end with the phrase:

to be continued.
