little bits

We forget to look down, to turn over, to search under.
We ignore the weeds, the seed pods, the beautiful bearers of life, an inportant part of the ecosystem so demonized.

Me? I love those little buggers! They fascinate me. My favorite? Milk weed pods, no doubt.

Sigh No More

So this is not a writing of my own, but still speaks to me every time I read it. It's got to be quality if I still chuckle even years later... :)




Sigh no more, ladies, sigh nor more;
Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never;
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny;
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into. Hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no mo,
Or dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leavy.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into. Hey, nonny, nonny.

~ William Shakespeare
Much Ado About Nothing

Wednesday Resolution

There are a few things in my life that I absolutely do not like: Habits I’ve fallen into, activities I’ve gotten involved with, and people I have chosen to spend my time with. I have gotten fed up with how these decisions make me feel in the end and I’m honestly mad that I’ve let myself get to this point. I know how I am happiest, I know when I have my joy and right now I can’t find that peace of mind anywhere. How angry do I have to become to actually make a change though? Will I so quickly get caught back up into this unwanted lifestyle and shrug off what may take a little more work, but is vastly more satisfying in the end? Here I present myself with a challenge. I do not like New Year’s resolutions; smaller goals make much more sense to me and seem much more achievable. This is my Wednesday resolution: To pursue my passion, to leave behind what has been dragging me down, and to go out and thrive the way I know best.
I don’t back down from a challenge.

thank goodness for people

People are the greatest blessings in life…

It can be one of those days you just wasn’t to get messed up and forget everything but then that one person stops to chat. The obnoxious ornery nature in you tries to shrink away and continue wallowing, but they somehow got you in a hold and you find yourself emerging from your miserable funk, lifted by someone else’s compassion, caring, and positive energy.

The incredible thing is that this simple conversation will seem to uplift you for days and be the greatest encouragement you couldn’t have even imagined.

People are phenomenal sometimes. I am overwhelmedly thankful for human interaction and that we are such a communal communicative species of being.
