 Thank you for your concern regarding Justin's health. I appreciate the emails and comments more than you know. I just love this guy... and I worry. Thanks again for your support.

PS I found this quote the other day and it is EXACTLY what I want to say to Justin every time we share an inside joke, laugh and love. We are the same....

"Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it. Because nobody else will." Gandhi

It is very important that you do it...

because nobody else will.

This idea just sorta changed my world. Is this what it is all about?I'll buy into that.

*Have you seen "remember me". ... OMG go rent it now!

"...we need silence to be able to touch souls.”

“See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...we need silence to be able to touch souls.”

Mother Teresa of Calcutta quotes

The sun came out y'all.

(These letters to the universe must really be working.)

I took a 2 hour long run with my dog, Lily, yesterday and it was AMAZING. We always run down to this little park that over looks the water. The view just takes my breath away. No one really goes to this park- and I like it that way.

That way we can just run in Silence.

The picture is from when lil and I became local celebs and a photographer took a picture of us at our favorite park after a race. We both look beat. :)

There are days we live as if death were nowhere in the background....

There are days we live
as if death were nowhere
in the background; from joy
to joy to joy, from wing to wing,
from blossom to blossom to
impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom.
- Li-Young Lee

We may not know where we are going or when we will get there...but with you I know we will be ok. (even walking in circles)

"If I could be any part of you, I’d be your tears. To be conceived in your heart, born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips. "

What a beautiful life that would be! I just love this quote.

things I love.....

good quotes... the ones that make you stop and change the way you look at the world.

Checking the Mailbox!....I love getting mail. when I was in college my mom sent me something every week. Even if it was just a newspaper article she thought I would be interested in. That is the kind of person she is. AMAZING. ( I don't talk about her enough on here but she is the person who keeps me centered. I can not say enough about her. )

Being outside... You know those moments that are so beautiful and perfect it just makes you want to hold your breath so nothing is disturbed. You can only get that feeling surrounded by nature.... and I love that.

It never changes....
