Rainy Morning

The sound of rainfall. The smell of the pages from a book in my hands. The soft cooing of a dove in a nearby tree. There is a peace that so often accompanies the falling rain. It is a day for pondering, remembering, creating, smiling, wishing, and just being. There is something about the rain that is just good for the soul.

Crunchy vs. Creamy

There is nothing quite as amazing as opening a brand new jaw of creamy peanut butter and taking out that first spoonful of creamy goodness....The smooth creamy peanut butter as it takes your taste buds on a sweet and salty adventure of awesomeness.... Alas...today is not to be that day... Why you may ask? Because, when I went to open my jar of peanut butter I discovered, not my usual creamy awesomeness, oh no,  but CRUNCHY peanut butter!!! THE HORROR!!!!!! (cue psycho music here) Disappointment abounded as my excitement turned into devastation!!! What was I to do? I had only the one jar of icky crunchy peanut butter, and no creamy peanut butter in sight...at first it was anger at myself for not checking the label more carefully as I grabbed the jar from the shelf, then it went to disappointment knowing I would not experience the creamy goodness I had been craving, then sorrow as I slowly spread the crunchy ickyness (there's the word for the day) on my sandwich.

Life's Chapters

Life, like every great story, must move forward. Chapters must end, and new chapters must begin. No matter how great the last chapter was, in order for the story to continue, it must come to an end.

If we cling to past chapters new ones will never unfold, and who knows? Maybe this new chapter will be even better than the last one. Some chapters will contain dragons and storms while others bring good times with friends. It may be tempting to skip the chapters that seem too mundane to matter or too much to possibly bare, but oftentimes it is in those chapters where we find pieces of ourselves that we need in order to experience the great chapters to their full extent. Change is never easy. You would think with as commonplace as it is that we would grow accustomed to it, and yet it is always hard to move away from what is familiar. When the page is t...

Out and About

Finally out and about again! It feels so good to be up and at work (as some would say 'back in the saddle again').  Anything that is not the four walls of my living room for a little while is nice. It is a gorgeous day out! Almost like it is welcoming me back to the outside world. It's a cozy low 70s (though I would take a nice crisp-there's that word again-low 60s high 50s), and the sun is shining brightly. Such a perfect fall day! I drove to work with my windows down just taking in the fresh air. :) So nice! I did get to take my car through the car wash the other day and got some pretty awesome pictures!! Let me know what you think! Have you guys ever caught some cool shots doing every day activities? Let me see them!! I love fun pictures!!! Anywho, I am glad last week is behind me, but what a crazy adventure it was! It's good to be back at work, seeing all my friends, and being able to feel useful again. I can't wait to be finished my m...
