i'm in fresno....i must admit that it's good to be home. it's been absolutely beautiful here since i got here... and that's in terms of fresno..... no comparison to slo. hmm i have been taking it easy and enjoying doing nothing. yesterday the trip was fun- i took the bus from cal poly to hanford and then the train from hanford to fresno....it only costs 16 bucks! i was pretty excited that it was a cheap trip. but in hanford i met a man named charles who lives in new mexico but was on his way to corcorran to see his 4yr old daughter cheyenne. i think mainly he wanted my money which i didn't have to give, but instead i just talked to him and learned some about him. i didn't have a ton of time before the train got there, but i was able to spend the time i did have talking to him. something he told me was that i was beautiful w/out makeup and didn't need it. i mean usually if someone says that to me i laugh because they just are trying to be nice, but this guy didn't know me....he doesn't know my insecurities....i was thankful for that....no i don't think i'm beautiful, but to hear it from charles who i had never met and had no clue who i was meant something to me....i thought he was a beggar wanting my money and though i had nothing to give him he gave me those words. hmm never know who might pop into your life. so that's that. i am going to go on a journey and i'll be back sometime later. have a blessed day!

and remember...be looking out for charles's in your life :)
