Somedays, I don't want to make the coffee.
Somedays, I don't want to stop for gas.
Somedays, I'd rather eat cereal then cook dinner.

But when I take the moment and look above all the things I'm not in the mood for, I am grateful for the ability to choose

Never Wanted To Be

Alone.
Tired.
Scared.
Wondering.

It was a place she never wanted to be, but the visit brought her new knowledge and gifts.

So many creatures. Scary weather. The unknown. The unexpected deliveries.

Is the view from our window any different?

What if we could go back?
What if we took that second chance?

What if no days were left unturned?

Silver Christmas trees.
Old fashioned hard candy.
The smell of baked goods.

The thought of you.

Some things make me nostalgic.

During the summer, I go to the Beach for sun.
For play.
For restoration.
For release.

During the winter, I go to the beach to take in the cold air.
For solitude.
To be alone.
To see what the seagulls see.

Somedays, though, I go their just to coast.

Lovely

It was a lovely weekend.

Thanksgiving with my Mom and Kenny, Taco, my brother -in-laws and my man.

Leftovers with my Mom and Kenny.

Sleeping late.
Staying up late.

Watching movies.

Playing with photoshop...alot.

A trip to the beach.
A trip to the oriental grocery store.
A voyage to the library.
And to the hardware store for paint.

Gingerbread coffee.

This is truly my best life, ever.

Somedays I think I see my age creeping up on me. Fine lines and gray hair(yikes). Stress can do crazy things to your body, soul and spirt.

But most days, I think, I'm alive. I'm smiling. And I'm happy.

And all the fine lines and gray hairs are just here to prove it!
