marsh

// right before we left the coast. (trees are always green in texas) //

geese fly in staggered V shapes against the clouds, sunset.
I think and I daydream a lot. I remember the feel of the red dress against my body,
and when driving, getting lost in music is the same feeling as getting lost in a book.

bittersweet symphony

captured these images in my parents kitchen

this cold, bright Monday morning. 

today.

cracked counter and a window facing the south.

it snowed all day yesterday

drifting and blowing like is typical for kansas

(the wind never rests,

and neither do you).

today I found some songs that you would've liked.

yesterday, the character in that film

their mannerisms...

they were so familiar 

(you).

my mind is tumbling lightly

on that line between THINKING and FEELING.

I don't drink coffee

but

today is a new day

and a little liquid caffeine motivation doesn't hurt anything

:)

happy monday, pals 

empty corners - but I - keep moving

"it isn't hard to leave knowing that I'll be getting life on tracknever looking back" - destination(it's kind of funny/awkward/strangethe places I'm in nowthe choices I've madethe things still to be decided upon.NOVEMBER means it's been one year since a lot of things,two years since some.(tomorrow is funny and tonight will be too)the palms of my hands are firm but smooth and sensitive, I ache to save the gas in my car and to use it up all at once.there is boredom, almost, when sitting on the edge about to be catapulted forwardwhen one should be relishing the calm.) 

I've been doing some thinking

and in the wandering of many thoughts
I have found
we cannot heal people
and they cannot heal us.
(not big news, I know)
but maybe sometimes I have to live it to learn it.

I saw something on Pinterest,
it was a list of things to work on in 2019.
and honest to goodness
I thought
why not now?

this is me, starting over with less than three months left in the year.
I'm not going to wait anymore,
not for another person or another opportunity or another year to come around.
// NOTHING CHANGES IF NOTHING CHANGES //
optimism is medicine.
healthy relationships, His word, prayer and the sunlight are too.
hey 2018,
let's make the rest of our time together something fulfilling.

take the day and

...turn the mundane into magic.

 

 

 

 

 

(the magic of everyday places//march 2018)

and so as time goes by
