This last week or two has been full of ups and downs. Good and bad. Happiness and sadness. One of the chickens my dad and I were raising was killed (probably by a possum), my grandfather is on an uphill swing because the hospital finally delivered his oxygen tank, and my boyfriend was hired for a full time position at a marketing company!...
This week has been tough, wonderful, exciting, and involved to say the least. I feel like my mind, body and soul have been hung out to dry and to be examined by strangers, and friends alike. I'm lucky enough to be down south with my boyfriend. I needed him to talk me through the highs and the lows of these past few days. ...
Happy 4 years together, Jimmy. You are loved. ...
Today has been one of those quite, peaceful days. The days that you can laze around with a book in your hand, and not realize how much time has passed or how many pages you've managed to read. A day where the sun has set, but you don't mind that you never got through all the work that you had intended on doing....
Time seems to have a funny way of tracing memories on our skin. A scar. A freckle. A way of smiling. A way of being that was learnt long ago, but not remembered until something entirely unrelated brings it up. I have always had a funny relationship with time. I felt is...
The sound of my mother's laughter as my boyfriend tells a funny joke. The way her voice resonates when she gives me a hug and tells me she loves me. The look in her eyes as she drives away knowing she won't see me for two weeks. When I was a little girl, I never wanted to be away from my mother. She...
As I sit in bed with the fans gently blowing, and the feeling of summer on my skin, I can't help but sigh and be grateful for how truly wonderful life is. Too often I find myself caught up in the day to day stresses and mundane issues of life. I find myself discouraged more often than not, as if I'm trying to...
Summer is nice. Really it is. I actually anticipate it's arrival almost immediately after Christmas. I love lazy days spent by the pool reading, piling clothes and food into the car and hitting the open road, laying out on the beach drinking ice cold beverages, and spending afternoons on the porch reading with the wind blowing around me. Summer is magical. It's holding...
"Did you know that for pretty much the entire history of the human species, the average life span was less than thirty years? You could count on ten years or so of real adulthood, right? There was no planning for retirement, There was no planning for a career. There was no planning. No time for plannning. No time for a future. But then...
I know I'm a bit late, but this month really snuck up on me. Actually, lately, it feels like my whole life has sort of snuck up on me. I suppose I really am just at that time in my life where everything is up in the air. A crossroad of sorts. There are so many things I want to do, and instead...
So funny. ...
I know I've taken a bit of a hiatus from the blogging world the past week, but life has been so busy. Busy=good though, so in my head I'm a very lucky girl. Besides the fact that my best friend got married a week ago yesterday, my boyfriend and I headed to the coast for an amazing 5 day trip! Stops included Cambria/San...
