note to self:

spend less time worrying, more time laughing

make me shine

and I love the way you just make me shine

Christmastime is here

Christmas time is here, happiness and cheer
fun for all
that children call
their favorite time of year
Snowflakes in the air, carols everywhere
olden times and ancient rhymes and love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air, beauty every where
yuletide by the fireside and joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
we'll be drawing near
oh that we could always see such spirit through the year

*~make a wish~*

Today my Mum threw me a surprise party!

Arlington National Cemetery

1,860 steps

The Empire State Building, NYC

40

My favorite birthday was my fourth, I wore a red velvet dress and a fireman's helmet. That's pretty much the same way I ended up celebrating my fortieth. Ooh la la!

if it's not one thing...

some stories don't have

a clear beginning, middle, and end.

life is about not knowing,

having to change,

taking the moment and making the best of it,

without knowing what's going to happen next.

delicious ambiguity. . .

back to good

When the storm comes you shelter me
When I don't say a word and you know exactly what I mean
In the darkest times you shine on me
You set me free
Keep me steady as we go

-Dave Matthews
