The power of Music
i believe in "break up Cd's". The one CD that can make you cry like a baby and just heal inner wounds. The one that has the lyrics that hit exactly how you feel. The music that instantly touches your heart. It's the CD you wear out and don't really touch once you move on.
I have not had a break-up CD as of yet. There were a few i thought about ( Read more... ) -
Enduring Friendships
"When two people, lovers, or sometimes friends, have an enduring care for each other, allow each other to be human, faulted, flawed, but real, then being human becomes a glorious thing to be. If the human race ever makes progress, that is how."
- L'Engle - " A Live Coal in the Sea"
i ran across this little ( Read more... ) -
Good People
I've been thinking about this concept for a while now. good people.
as i drove myself to the going away party last weekend, my stomach in knots, i kept asking myself why i was doing this. why drive all the way across town to see someone i hadn't seen in maybe 5 years just to say goodbye. and i thought of the conversation i had with T, explaining it ( Read more... ) -
A New Day
"Be Yourself is all that you can do..." by Audioslave rocks out as the first song.
The sun is starting to peek through the trees and the garage next door. And the sky is warmly lit in that cold winters morning, kinda way.
And everything feels right.
I tend to be neurotic. a perfectionist. somewhat controling. and have a complex where i feel like i ( Read more... ) -
"Ogers are like onions...."
".... they have layers". I made Cornish Hens stuffed with carrots and celery and onions and asparagus risotto. Together i ended up chopping up two very nice sized onions. I noticed something about onions and layers last night. That sometimes on one side of the onion the layer is really thick but you turn the onion and that same layer can be paper ( Read more... ) -
More reading and rereading
my brain is numb with re-reading old posts. laughing. blushing. crying. one thing i find that i miss, one thing i have strayed from are the posts about what i read. the posts on idea. on story. on analogy. i miss those. for awhile i was good at writing those, and i would like to get back ( Read more... ) -
oh my
in a conversation with a friend the other day, my blog came up and if it would be okay if he read it. to which my reaction was - of course - "it's public". i was a little baffled at the concept of not wanting people to read things you posted public. and this brought me to what i have begun doing - re-reading entries from the very beginning ( Read more... ) -
The Week in Retrospect
I feel a bit like Dorothy. This week has been an emotional tornado of sorts. The recap version: started the "aggressive savings" plan. Which basically means not driving across town 3 times a week just to hang out and not spending money. but SAVING. which i think is also going to mean spending a lot of time in my room, just chillin' and who doesn't ( Read more... ) -
Blue Skys
New years Day i decided to go out shopping. Catch some good new years sales and replace all of the clothes i have managed to shrink my way out of. Along the way, i realized that not only was i in good spirits but i was smiling. full on puffy cheek smiling. and i'm not sure the last time i caught myself doing that. i correct myself... it was months ( Read more... ) -
Riding the Waves
i'm sitting here and somehow my mind keeps wandering back to the same thing. and then my heart follows it's lead and begins to respond in aching waves that i try to suppress. so once again (and i ask your forgiveness for such) i write to put to rest that which i can't seem to do otherwise ( Read more... )
