Rain, rain go away.
Come again another day.

Missing Puzzle Pieces

Love can be such a cynical topic.  There are people in our lives we just seem to be drawn towards.  It may defy everything logical, and yet at those moments we find ourselves being the people we most want to be, but are too scared to become.  Listening to my single friends talk about their lives make me think back to my own crossroads in life and ponder it in retrospect.  I'm at a point in my life that I have grown to be so thankful for what I have accomplished and become, that I have to wonder what allowed me these opportunities, and what has passed me by due to my choices.

Someone told me that I blog because there is a void that I fill with my words.  There are moments I write because I am thinking of the what ifs, but who hasn't thought about that one thing, that would have changed everything in your life?  I think that admitting that love is work, it's hard, it's complicated and sometimes unfair, is half of the internal battle we fight.  The other half is just finding that missing piece to your puzzle that someone carries.  So, when you find all of this, my best advice to people is to jump, take that leap, no matter how cynical it may seem, you will just know, just like they always say, and it will be in the most mundane of days, when you least expect it.

So, yes, I blog because I feel like I speak best on paper.  I miss opportunities because I am afraid of change, of making a fool of myself, I hate to make decisions, and I know I can be a tad crazy at times.  These are all things I admit, but the people who love me, love all of me, so there are no voids, just moments I relive examining the possibilities and I keep writing...

Today was a great day on the road, a busy, crazy, but, still a wonderful, hilarious day.  Not many people can say that in between rocking out to Lady Gaga, and stuffing their face with food, they have time to lay in the grass and laugh while taking ridiculous photos-just for fun, but I do all of these things, and pretty frequently.  For this, I am truly thankful.  It's in these brief breaks in my hectic schedule, that I get to catch my breath, only to lose it again in a fit of laughter.  Here is Nicole, before she broke down into a giggle today while we took some time to enjoy it all.

Are YOU!?

Are you a TOUGHMUDDER ?

..........I'm gonna be!

Lately I have been drawn to quotations. I find it amazing how some people have such a great way of articulating their feelings. I purchased two books the other day that are full of famous quotes and found two about friendship that got my attention.

A soul friend is someone with whom we can share our greatest joys and deepest fears, confess our worst sins and most persistant faults, clarify our highest hopes and perhaps most unarticulated dreams. - Edward C. Sellner

Eventually, it's the silences which make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying, but the never needing to say. -Margaret Lee Runbeck

Failure to launch...

Scrolling through the tv menu tonight I found Failure To Launch was on. It reminded me of the cardinal rule, us ladies, firmly live by....a man over thirty who is still single definitely has something wrong with him. Despite what some men will tell you, there is exactly 3 categories he may fall into: 1) he's divorced with baggage 2) he's a tool 3)he still lives with his parents

Ladies, beware of all three!! Hopefully this is informative and fun to read!

This will make your heart melt...
