a little love

Today is Valentine's Day. Today is a day that is set aside to show love. While I agree businesses are out to cash out in you on this holiday, I also think that showing some extra love today is not a bad thing. Today is more then cards and flowers.Today is a day for love. For sister love, for family love, for romantic love. Love comes in many forms and all should be celebrated. I think the world needs more love. We need to say " I love you more" we need to hug more. We need more sugar in our lives. (yes more sweetness) Today is a day like any other, but today we show MORE love. Today we embrace those around us. We hug our kids closer, we kiss more, hold hands longer. Today we make a nice romantic breakfast for our love ones. Today we spend showing love to all who enter our day.
Today is love.

While I see nothing wrong with store bought gifts, I have come up with new traditions for my boyfriend and I. Being our first Valentine's Day we did a craft that was part him and part me. We love doing it together and will be doing a small craft each year. We had a nice slow morning with pancakes and bacon. We took out time to get out the door. Once we did we went bowling. So romantic right? But we had so much fun together,another first and another memory. Long lunch after and rocking on a southern porch and talking after. Was a perfect day.

Now im listening to  "What a Wonderful life" by Louis Armstrong and think myself, what a wonderful world.  What an amazing life that we love, that we allow ourselves to be involved into other peoples lives and share in their joys and happiness. Today love  a little longer, linger in each others company. Enjoy the slowness of the day. Enjoy your day. Love yourself. Pamper yourself. Love is an amazing gift and do we not deserve it.

I want to wish you all an amazing valentines day. Enjoy the love that surrounds you. Enjoy each other, share chocolate, share hugs, share it all, Enjoy the day in anyway you want, but include some extra love.

Mother's Day and the Sh*t show it will become. I AM READY!

                                             Mother's Day is coming in hot and my mother died.  This will be the first Mother's Day without her. My sister has plans that day, and I do not, but our hearts will be on Mom no matter what we do. There is no running away from grief.  Grief will fill our minds, and our hearts, and keep us focused on her passing away. Our minds will wander to her and wonder where she is in this vast universe. We will think of the last time we saw her, hugged, her, and talked with her. Grief will bring us back to her last breath. We will try to move on, move past, but you know what I have found out, that is BS. We all have our own grief walk to take. We all have our own correct path to move forward. I have thought about joining a grief support group and then thought perhaps not. I am not so sure I could listen to others...

Wandering Soul

I find myself recently thinking of traveling again. I love the newness of a place. I get bored with the old. I like learning new about new cultures and making new friends. I have one more year of college and then I am open to moving anywhere. I would love a job with writing of course as I am an English major, but I do not limit myself to that. I open my heart and soul to wandering. I think if we stay around the same people too much we disappoint them. They are bound to get tired of us, or us them, at some point. Ive recently realize if we attach to someone, some place, or something we will eventually get hurt. Everything that has a beginning has an end. All relationships start and end. All our time in a place starts and ends. Nothing lasts forever. Buddhists say if you do not get attached to anything or anyone you will not be hurt. Easier said then done. Pfft! I always thought my lack of attachment to people or places was a bad thing. If we go with the Buddhist's way then I am ...

Love, Friendship, and the Sh*t we take because of it.

I have long known I am an empathetic person. I have always felt other peoples emotions deeply. Sometimes I wish I could turn it off, but recently I realized how much of a gift it is. I can hurt with them, I can share in the highs, I can be there fully for those who need me. I think it is a gift really. I might not always understand what the person has gone through, but I listen and feel the hurt down to my soul. It shakes me to my core and allows me to empathize with the person. This empathy is dangerous to me and my own happiness. While I feel other peoples emotions so deeply,I notice I feel mine even more. With every good or bad thing that happens I realize how much it resonates with my soul. It takes a tole on my body sometimes and that is not good. The definition of an empathic is this: of, relating to, or characterized by empathy , the psychological identification with the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of others: a sensitive, empathetic school couns...
