I want to run away and stay here with good people and wine and summer breezes and starry skies.

What if

“what if, instead of reacting…we stopped and took a deep breath
what if, instead of losing our patience… we didn’t
what if, instead of leaving a nasty comment…. we decided to encourage 5 people that day

what if, instead of rolling our eyes or letting ourselves turn cold as ice, we made the first move…and initiated something good

what if, instead of using the past as ammunition, we forgot…moved on and forgave.

what if, instead of screening the call, we took it
or what if instead of being furious….we were kind.

the world would be better.

we would be better versions of ourselves.”

A reminder to just relax and enjoy life sometimes:

“So many of us live our lives as if the secret purpose is to somehow get everything done. We stay up late, get up early, avoid having fun, and keep our loved ones waiting. Often, we convince ourselves that our obsession with our ‘to do’ list is only temporary - that once we get through the list, we’ll be calm, relaxed, and happy. But in reality, this rarely happens. As items are checked off, new ones simply replace them.”

Tried out a new crazy nail technique with Jenn tonight - water marbling. And painted only my ring finger nail, because that’s what all the cool blogger peeps do. ;)

Is a relationship worth less if it doesn't last forever?

Something I need to remind myself sometimes.

"Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and to follow it to an end requires courage."

2012

I wore hot pink pants for my first outfit of 2012 today. (Yesterday didn’t count, I wore sweatpants and slept most of the day.)

I’m hoping they set the tone for an exciting and new and different year, full of change and being true to myself.

"For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation."

Today is a new day. :)

I just seem to have fallen out of love with blogging a little bit.
