What we'll do

We'll keep thinking big.

We'll not only keep hoping-hoping-hoping, we'll quit wishing away time. We'll hatch escape plans and shake up our routines. We'll hold out for a good thing.

And we'll stop incessantly checking our email--we'll silence our cell phones and shut our computers. Instead, we'll take long walks and breathe in the lilacs. We'll tell stories. We'll dance and grow strong with push-ups. We'll trade sucking in our stomachs for big, belly laughs.

We'll broadcast wildflower seeds and eat crunchy apples. And we'll keep maturing. We'll resist turning disappointment into tragedy. We'll exercise curiosity, ask people questions and forgive them when they don't ask us.

That's what we'll do.

These stars remind me of medieval art.

I'm back.
I'm back to cooking and walking and reading and blogging.
Winter was hard but spring has come.

Organization!

The dinky canvas divider in my closet collapsed (for good) this week. However, I found a sturdy set of shelves at a used furniture store for CHEAP! I may repaint them once it warms up. As for now, I'm quite pleased with my newly organized closet.

I made this pillow for my sister for her birthday.
Pom-poms make anything better.

Huh?

Until this little tune snuck out from my subconscious and into my whistling today, I had completely forgotten that I preformed this song (accompanied with dance moves) for my fifth grade talent show. Whoa.

I'd nap here...
