Those Who Wander...

"Not all those who wander are lost." --JRR Tolkien

This quote really speaks to me for some reason. Perhaps it's because I've always been one of those who people that walks a slightly different path.

I look for the unique things in life and make them part of my own. Anything that is intriguing or mysterious--that's what I like. From the way I dress, to the way I think/speak--even how I act--I sometimes feel a little out of the norm. Some people think I'm weird, I know. But I accept that. I am who I am.

I'm a reader. A writer. An artist.

That probably accounts for those faraway looks I often get. Why I get quiet and thoughtful at times.

I'm a Christian. A God lover.

Because of this, I think before I speak and I care about what others think. I don't get angered easily, and I love everyone I meet. God makes everyone different. He just so happened to make me the quiet, thought-filled girl that often gets lost in her daydreams.

I'm eccentric. Unique.

I'm Hogan.

The First Dandelion of Spring

Spring. A time of new beginning. Rebirth. Colors splash, rains quench the thirst of the land.

This year, the budding springtime only reminds me that my own life is about to begin anew. I'm nearly an adult, and before long I'll be heading off the college and starting to walk the path set out for me. Though the thought is a little (okay, a lot) scary, it's also a little refreshing as well. Who knows what God has in store for me? I'm excited to find out.

Today I think I'll leave you with another song. This one speaks to my heart.

The Well.
