Name: Calli
Birthday: 12/15/1987
Gender: Female


Interests: Music...of extremely varying genres 0:) 70's pop, oldies in general....swing and big band...:) I listen to a lot of various styles (it depends on what kind of mood I'm in) and won't bore you by listing them all off... ;) I play (classical) piano and am a music major... I also teach piano lessons, an experience and job I wouldn't trade for the world right now. Among other things I enjoy discussing history/philosophy and doctrine, ballroom dancing, reading sometimes, finding new outlets for my adventuresome nature- exploring new interests, etc.......being a child of God, and knowing that I am His forever- and adventure (well, ANY) movies where Sir Right always comes along to save the day
Expertise: I honestly don't know whether it would be right to claim, or whether I could claim, an expertise- I believe that life is an experience that must be taken for the good and bad and that one can only do the best that is possible for each individual situation and that God will bless living with that integrity...making those experiences turn out for the good because of what you learn and take away from them...so drink in and cherish the moments :) "We may never pass this way again..."
Occupation: Student/Piano instructor

The Essential Billy Joel
By Billy Joel
And So it Goes
see related

And so it goes...

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

We May Never Pass This Way Again

~We May Never Pass This Way Again~

Where...to...start...

Life, so they say, is but a game and they let it slip away

College has begun, in fact...the first semester is almost half over...I'm finding that very hard to believe.  So much is different now- just the simple issue of spending time doing my own thing away from home all day is a major adjustment.  Change is good, I keep telling myself- and I'm not somber about it...but it, nontheless: change, meaning we can't hold on to things forever- we have to move on.

Love, like the autumn sun, should be dying but it's only just begun

How can you predict what God may put in your path as you journey through life...there are some things I had no thought of entertaining, but nonetheless they are staring me in the face and I have much to learn from them.  I guess life doesn't always turn out to be what we think it will be

Like the twilight in the road up ahead, they don't see just where we're goin...
And all the secrets in the universe, whisper in ours ears and all the years come and go, take us up, always up...

Faith that God has the wheel has to be the best way of giving comfort and rest in a restless world of unforeseen circumstances,  there is such joy and peace in this I wish everyone could have 

We may never pass this way again, we may never pass this way again, we may never pass this way again

Life is wonderful...and we've gotta take in the moments

Dreams, so they say, are for the fools and they let 'em drift away

Don't settle for second best...live, love, give, laugh to the fullest

Peace, like the silent dove, should be flyin' but it's only just begun...

Everything that matters (and that doesn't matter- or, we could raise the question...is there anything that doesn't matter?) will work out in His timing, in His perfect wisdom to His glory

Like Columbus in the olden days, we must gather all our courage...
Sail our ships out on the open seas, cast away our fears, and all the years come and go, take us up, always up...

LIFE IS A GIFT, don't take things for granted

We may never pass this way again, we may never pass this way again, we may never pass this way again...
SO~ I wanna laugh while the laughin is easy
I wanna cry if it makes it worth while...
I may never pass this way again,
That's why I want it with you....

To all my loved ones~ you mean the world to me and nothing- nothing- can ever replace the gift God has given me in you.

I'll spare you the rest of the lyrics, suffice it to say- you pretty much get the whole song without the rest...anyway, just felt another one of my random posts comin' on...

blessings,

~cal~

p.s.  I almost forgot my staple-signature-never-forget-to-do-it "p.s." note!  I'm putting pictures in my photo bucket section of xanga...so click on the link up top and leave me some comments- I'm putting some good memories out there :)

The Patriot (Special Edition)

Hola~
    The trip was lovely...the beach walks were great and relaxing and not paying attention to the clock was fantastic
     The beach condo was a lot of fun...we actually didn't stay up watching movies a whole lot....we all just kind of got lost in various ways- some of us walked more than others....some played in the water more, some played soccer more- I was the only one that colored on the beachI had a felt board of a pirate scene that is not quite finished yet... but it was loads of fun!  The sunrise Friday-our last day- was beautiful...the sun was this perfect shade of pink and not too bright and glowy- I took pics w/ my camera phone
      Savannah was awesome...the riverwalk was so nice and old-timey...we bought taffy at the candy kitchen and I ate a few times at Olympia Cafe, a Greek restaurant on the riverwalk...it was delicious!!!  I wish I had had more time to try more of the menu  We walked into the city a little bit to Market Square- they had this awesome stone store...with lots of agate and natural stone stuff- I bought some chimes and a tealight candle holder- all just natural stone  There was also a nice little celtic music and instrument store about a block off the riverwalk-I now have three new penny whistles of a much superior quality to the ones I had before.  They sound beautiful...can't wait to get together with other instruments to play!
     All in all- it was great....we hit the ground running- in party mode, if I may add- this week...I finally finished unpacking yesterday  Tonight we are going to a Bible study, then to Pirates of the Caribbean 2 with some friends...yay!!  Wierd, but it will be the second movie Aub and I have gone to this week- we went with some other friends Wednesday night and saw The Lakehouse...it was really sweet  Actually- we also went to the gardens last night to watch The Patriot outside under the stars with a friend...so three movies!!!!
     I can't wait to see Pirates---I'm so ready for more Jack...just love the character...anyway, I finally have my UAH ID card and have been getting all the last little details in order to start classes in about 5 or 6 weeks.....

Ok, it's been a long and windy (not as in air blowing, but as in winding roads) week....hope everyone is having a great summer!  Let me hear from you,

~One More Day Til Revolution~

We leave for the beach early tomorrow morning!!!!  We pretty much have the car packed already so we will just be able to get up and go (hopefully) without to much hassle.  Actually- Mom, Dad, and Aub packed the car while I cleaned my own car  It looks very nice now~ soooo much better than it did...it was getting a tad dirty for comfort.  The inside is cleaned out and the outside is shiny  I am so thankful for my car, which has been named "Jack" by the way

Anyway, just a little post to check back in one last time before I'm out of pocket for a whole week  I think all of us really need this vacation- it is going to be our week of play and no strings attached and no commitments to appointments or meetings or anything!  *sigh*  It's gonna be double fun this time, too, since we're going with family and friends- it's kinda a "senior trip" or sorts since Reeves and I didn't get to go on the cruise this spring...it'll be a blast- we're staying on Tybee Island...Our condo is right on the beachfront, and I think it's less than two miles from the lighthouse  It's about 20 minutes from Savannah, where I think we're go in and take a little time to meander the riverwalk and take a dinner cruise.  We might even take a ghost walk tour

Ok, enough said, methinks.  Have a wonderful week, everyone~ give us a call some time!

God bless,

~cal~

P.S.  I'm hoping this CD will come in the mail today I ordered it earlier this week...it's a trio version of Gershwin's Preludes for piano among other things...(I played one of the preludes for senior recital, and I love their jazzed up arrangement!)

Fallen

*sigh*
     I finally feel like summer break is here!!  However, summer break is not really what I came to blog about.  Of late, I have been realizing how very selfish and self-centered I am- of course, in many different ways, but one of them is in relation to people.  I realize now how much I have expected from others around me without giving of myself in return
     I also realize how much I take the closest people to my heart for granted.  I think some times trying to seem tough/or rather able to handle myself like a big responsible girl, I let myself be aloof and harsh to my closest friend, my family, etc.  And I think some times that I really get so wrapped up in this in pride that they get hurt and don't realize how much I really appreciate and love them, not to mention need them to lean on *sigh*  They see a shell- a proud covering of self-dependency, which isn't true because I do depend on my family and friends...very much. Over the past year and a half or so, I have become so used to just saying what I think without worrying about how it's worded and thusly- many things I have said have come out wrong and doubtless caused damage  Most of which, I hope I have tried to correct when I realized what I sounded like or how other people took it. 
     For all this, I am dreadfully sorry.  However, I am now making an outward effort- by the grace of God- to change and instead of waiting for my turn to talk or do or pick the activity of the day, to listen to others cares and concerns from the point of view of how I can be a blessing to them.  I want to be meek and soft-hearted.  At any rate, God has been working so much in my life this past year - and I thank Him so much for allowing me to see His hand, for that has been a prayer of mine.
      Love y'all God bless always,

~cal~

P.S. Interesting movie
