I miss something...

I just miss it. The early morning dawn... Setting my own priorities. The scent of nature just outside my window...

Quote of the Day

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. - Theodore Roosevelt

It works!

Yay! My Goodwill find works! It's actually a potpourri pot, but I'm using it as a wax warmer! I want my kitchen to smell like orange and clove... When I was a kid, my childhood friend would invite me for sleepovers. Her dad enjoyed talking to me for hours and listening to my bright mind and avid thoughts! They were such a calm, peaceful, beautiful family. And their kitchen had some kind of tea in the cupboards that smelled like orange and clove... Those scents bring back so many warm and fond memories!

The Invitation by Oriah

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive. It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me...

BEST camera app! Not even edited! All camera lenses create an unavoidable distortion that makes our faces not look like they actually do in real life, and I haven't been able to find a decent camera app... Everything's all about selfies and makeup and filters and smoothing blemishes! I just want my nose to not look 30% bigger than it actually is, and I want my face to look like it does when I look in the mirror--which, honestly, isn't half bad!   And it's Perfect! See how balanced it is? No fisheye distortion; no extra crevices or haunting shadows in my face; no weird lighting effects... Just is, and just what I see when I look in the damn mirror!

Life is returning!!!
