don't forget to remember

"borrowed" from a joyous music group's album name from the UK called Puressence......they remind us to DONT FORGET TO REMEMBER.....
IT MADE ME THINK. i like things that make me think.
so im right now remembering some diggity dog dare you moments, some rock your socks off moments, some i cant believe it not butter moments......

remember your first game of truth or dare. how insecure you felt. how you felt dumb like the entire circle knew more about everything than you did.

remember your first moment that you realized you let someone one down. that split second, it clicked that you screwed up....and they believed in you.....

remember the first time you realized that snow flakes are ACTUALLY shaped in the shape of a snow flake......

here's to kisses and near misses....and when you know you have time left with someone....to take advantage of it.
here's to snow falling silently for hours soothing an entire city's pulsing heart.

here's to those moments that you become self aware.....

live and let live.....the quote pounded into my head as a child
some people come into ours lives and quickly go, others leave footprints on your heart and you are never the same.....the picture that was on my wall growing up as a child and it took 15 years to learn the meaning of it....

i hope i leave footprins....big ones.....

stuff we love

I'm baaa-aack!!

Happy Monday for the second week in a row! Today was my first day back to work.

I've never been one who takes things for granted. Even the mundane that often escapes "normal" people's attention, gives me pause to stop and say a prayer of gratitude.

However, this past month and half has taught me a lot. I was sicker this past December than I have been in my adult life. It has been a humbling experience. I've always had the attitude that nothing was going to keep me from what I wanted to do. It was often a battle of wills with myself.

Work was one of those things that I almost took for granted. I told myself that I would continue to move forward in my career, damn the consequences. After several months of that attitude and the consequences nipping at my heels, that decision was taken out of my hands. The nipping at my heels became a full on assault that knocked me flat on my arse.

At first there wasn't a question of whether I could work. I simply couldn't. Have a slice of humble pie.

Then it was more of a question of balancing my desire to keep my career against those consequences.

By the grace of God, I'm being given a second chance to hold on to my career for a little longer. Granted, there are some modifications and some sacrifices. But I'm not done yet. God is good.

Well...these are the musings of an Idgie who had been rumored to have fallen off the face of the earth.

every now and then

every now and then don't you just stop and laugh....
laugh at those days...that seemed like a different lifetime ago.....
where time seemed to slip away from our fingers...
always around, always together...always .

where madonna influenced our minds and whistle stop cafe triggered out imaginations.
small things were so big and big things were so small.

we wanted the only yellow cub without a handle among the 30 with handles.
we wanted to unbroken crayons and the strawberry creams.

you were player number one and i was player number two.
i was middle seat and you were back.
i was big couch and you were little.

you were the rabit and i was Padington.
you were green and i was blue.

you were the cats meow and i was a man's best friend.

so heres to boney fingers and day dream believers.....
ill be your lazy W anytime.....

here comes the rest of our lives....

where my idgie at

happy monday.

today is a good day.....i was thinking about all the LOVE that surrounds us....and have a quote to make your cozy toes smile and happy feet flirt.....

"I have estimated the influence of reason upon love and found that it is like that of a raindrop upon the ocean, which makes one little mark upon the water's face and disappears".

-Hafiz-i-Shirazi, translated from Persian text

it's the beginning of a time left long ago

it's sacred not secret

it's super not friendly

it's ours not yours

______________



it's about time
it's about now
it's about then


it's ours not yours...but now we'll share...........

sts.....forever......
