what i think....

we should be outside more. inhaling fresh air.  absorbing the sunshine.  hearing crickets, birds chirping, waves crashing, streams streaming....all of nature doing what it does best....keeping us alive.  where would we be without it? 

i love...

i love....

color...
the sun...
gypsy jazz...
ray lamontagne...
glitter in random places....
oddities and eccentricities....

what do you love?

little ditty....

give me summer, give me the sea....give me the space to just be me......

dance it out....

it's amazing how you feel when you dance it out no matter what.....even when you don't feel like it, and even when you yourself roll your eyes at the idea, and it feels stupid and absurd......but you do it anyway, cause you care about yourself and want to feel better...to feel free.......to feel silly and smile at the absurdity that dancing it out *REALLY* works......if even for a minute.

so what are you waiting for?.....

experiment....

So far this year has been about experimenting...playing around with new ideas, tools, expanding and broadening my horizons.  It's calm, just as I like things these days. 

You wonder, when you do new things, why you put it off so long........

Expect a lot more from me this year...because that is what i expect out of myself. :)

i refuse to complain about anything today. i can walk outside without fear of radiation/cancer. i don't feel aftershocks as big as earthquakes. my loved ones are accounted for. i am warm, inside, clothed, fed, clean water. this is all i need, and i am grateful.
