I dropped a tear in the ocean. The day you find it is the day I will stop missing you. ~Author Unknown

Use your health, even to the point of wearing it out. That is what it is for. Spend all you have before you die; do not outlive yourself.~G. B.Shaw

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. ~Fr. Alfred D'Souza
*"do not outlive yourself".... I fucking LOVE THAT!!! I JUST FOUND THAT QUOTE TODAY AND I AM IN. LOVE.

In two weeks time this will be my view. I am headed to MI to visit my family's cottage on the lake. This will be my view!

Thanks in advance,

Dear summer

Where the *#^@% ARE YOU!?!?!?!?

I need the sun like some people need water.

*secret I am not sure how much longer I can survive in the Northwest. I sorta just want to move home to CO.

"Every one of us is called upon, probably many times, to start a new life."

"Every one of us is called upon, probably many times, to start a new life. A frightening diagnosis, a marriage, a move, the loss of a job... And onward full tilt we go, pitched and wrecked and absurdly resolute, driven in spite of everything to make good on a new shore. To be hopeful, to embrace one possibility after another - that is surely the basic instinct... Crying out: High tide! Time to move out into the glorious debris. Time to take this life for what it is." - Barbara Kingsolver, High Tide in Tucson
