An introduction: that’s the goal of this little blurb, in
all the simple moments and joys of daily life.
Once, someone told me I would one day embody the characteristics of a
Proverbs 31 woman (for those unknowing, Google it… it’s a commonly-referred to
ideal, especially among Christian women); heck, I’ll claim it! She’s a collector of intrinsic
characteristics, a model of servant-hood and cherished by her family and her
Lord (more on faith in another post). My
train of thought was leading to the important phrasing of “one day”, a day seemingly
far away, so for the now I’ll collect as many memories and moments as I can in
hopes of taking on the honor of that title.
To be honest, the productivity of creating and writing a few
excerpts today is directly proportional to the lack of effort applied to my
statistics homework and Introduction to Business paper I must finish in just a
few hours. That’s right, folks: I’d
rather pass up my academic gains to mess around with musing and writing. In
fact, I love writing. I’m a Business-Accounting major, and I LOVE TO WRITE.
Blasphemy! Aren’t the number-crunchers
supposed to abhor the word-writers?
Indeed, I’m walking the fence of creativity and structure, and the risk
is indelibly delicious. Folks from
either side may be confused, as am I.
You know what, though?
I’m going to use bad grammar, be completely scatter-brained and post
whatever and whenever I like, because I was exquisitely created to do so and I
will embrace the creation of ME. Have
you done that lately? After all, you’re
just as incredibly unique as I am, whether or not your heart believes in a
Creator or you subscribe to a different method of understanding our world. Who
we are is undeniably different than the person next to us.
Enough with that rabbit trail… back to introducing me. Hello!
My name is Kassandra Jo Putnam, a child of the 90’s and two parents with
20+ years of military service. I’m a
native Montanan with high hopes of escape into the rest of the world, whether
permanently or just on adventure. I’m a
student, and at the same time a Resident Advisor, and my job is a consistent
reminder of how cool all our life paths are (more on my job later). I’m undeniably shorter than the average
person, I love the outdoors and yet am often found curled up with a cup o’ tea
and either a good book or some accounting homework. My faith in an awesome God completely defines
my life. I’m currently facing daily life
single and unattached, though I hardly look at it that way; singlehood is an
incredible season of defining yourself and chasing after adventures and dreams
better suited for an independent lifestyle, a viewpoint of which I strive
towards daily.
I laugh, a lot J
Joy abounds in every situation I seem to get myself into. For instance, let me share some funny things
about today: I contemplated every possibility I could to get the crayfish out
of my fish tank without touching it, including the use of tongs, a brave
neighbor and building a makeshift ladder for its use… I tried to learn
Portuguese by eaves-dropping on some residents (to no avail, but if you’re
reading this, thanks for the beautiful conversation about whatever you were
discussing)… another resident told me about her recent dissection of a sample
of Bubonic plague (it still exists, I had no idea!)…and it’s only
mid-afternoon. I love this life!
I hope to never offend a reader, though offense seems born
of two clashing ideals... and clash is guaranteed to happen at some point or
another. Please, give me a piece of your
mind; disagree; debate. I want to hear
from you, know you and be friends with you!
And now, onto the rest of the day…
