life, i really believe, is about falling in love. with ideas, with stories, with experiences, mistakes, adventures, poetry, imaginations, old books, new books, movies, music, and, of course, people. everything that is worthwhile in this world is worth falling in love with, and i can’t imagine a better way to live one’s life than to be always head over heels.
what are YOU in love with?
what are YOU in love with?
looking forward to:
adopting two kitties. sunshine for good. yellow yellow yellow. sleeping tonight.
with the windows open. breakfast tomorrow. a cup of tea sooner then later. a
walk in the sun. a relaxing weekend. an ice cream party. reading new york
magazine on the subway. getting my new bathing suit so it can finally feel like
summer. this. now. being.

where you come from
"When you realize where you come from, you naturally become tolerant, amused, kindhearted as a grandmother, and dignified as a king. Immersed in wonder, you can deal with whatever life brings you, and when death comes, you are ready."

it's raining, it's pouring...
... im pretty sure my grandpa is still snoring :)
today the universe told me, "one must let go in order to be free". while this holds many different meanings, lemme tell you something. i am SO ready to let go of this gosh-awful RAIN. seriously now. three weeks of grey clouds and droplets of water is not healthy for our environment and surely not healthy on our mental health. give it up, mother nature! let's have a few days of sunshine, warm weather and sun kissed skin! instead, i both smell and look like a wet dog. delicious.
on other notes, did everyone/anything see so you think you can dance last night? um, hell-o, brandon doing the disco.
i watched it this morning (yes shea, this is what you missed at work this far) and have such a SMILE on my face. watch it, it'll make the rain clouds disappear for five minutes and you will picture yourself wearing six-inch glitter platforms. truuuuust me.

i work with old people, and this being said, they are some of my favorite people out there.
just the other day, i left my office and was walking to the subway. as i was walking, i saw one of my favorite little mister's walking towards me. we stopped, and as always, his face lit up, he gave me a kiss on each cheek and kept saying 'IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!'. just his energy and zest always makes me happy. no matter what's going on in his life or health, when he sees shea or myself, he lights up. as we were getting ready to go about our ways, he took out his wallet, and showed me a photo he carries around of shea and i in his wallet.
the only photo in his wallet.
right there, front and center.
us.
he said he kisses it every morning, and everytime he takes out his wallet, because 'you two are good girls! my girls!' (said in a thick greek accent). my heart burst. to know that some people can truly care and love you, and take you into their heart and call you their family.
this job. these people. some of the sweetest. they are little rare jems with grey hair, walkers, wheelchairs, dentures and hearts of gold who have in so many ways, touched my heart, personally and professionally, and welcomed me into their lives, family, homes and soul. forever grateful.

dear you,
Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.
love,
me.
love,
me.

strong.
I’ve never tried to block out the memories of the past, even though some are painful. I don’t understand people who hide from their past. Everything you live through helps to make you the person you are now.
