because reality is finally better than your dreams.

love is taking a few steps backward maybe even more... 
to give way to the happiness of the person you love.

things that made me smile this week

* i got to dog sit this week. he was so depressed because roomie was gone, that he wouldn't come out of his kennel and he kept letting out these big sighs. it was so funny and cute. AND then when roomie was back he kept following me around like i had been gone all week. what a goof ball!

* a communication catastrophe with a friend that ended on a good note after talking it out. it's awesome what talking about misunderstandings can do. talking it out is the same as letting it go.

* walking the dog with a good friend, followed by pizza and watching home improvement. a good evening.

* brunch with a group of girls i love. and one in particular who shared with us about her man with potential. good times.

* an extension to my gig out in annapolis. yay for springtime in a beautiful place.

* spreading 7 bags of mulch over my front garden. it was like i could the ground giving off a sigh of relief. i love working in the garden.

* a long sunday morning walk with my dear vt. i love her!

* and this lovely little video about the magic of books. it's been a while since a movie made me both laugh and then cry. enjoy!

love is....

                                          true love begins
                                                                  when nothing is 
                                                                                           looked for in
                                                                                                               return.

thoughtful thursday: reading is bliss

“Reading is everything. Reading makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficity disorder medicates itself. Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it’s a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it’s a way of making contact with someone else’s imagination after a day that’s all too real. Reading is grist. Reading is bliss. ” ~Nora Ephron

i love Nora Ephron!

thoughtful thursday: live each season

"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each." — Henry David Thoreau
