Long day?

Find comfort here.

And calcium.

Hey post-snow.

Though you're obnoxious and make me have to cuff my pants-

I'm glad you're here.

Because, well, you're a sign that warmer weather is coming.

That bulky winter coats will eventually be shed.

That sunlight will dance on my shoulders once again.

I will trade in these boots for bare-footedness.

Yes, bare-footedness.

Dear Lord, bare-footedness, You are good!

Bring the sunshine, bring the flowers, bring a new spirit within me.

New experiences, new adventures, new life.

Newness.

Notification:

I wish had more time to watch the Olympics.

All those people who are suspiciously good at things.

Hrumph. :P

So much sadness,

brokenness, surrounds me.

Where has your smile gone?

Why do the tears continue to flow?

Does he treat you right?

Does your past haunt you with every corner you turn?

Have you lost hope?

Have you no hope worth looking forward to?

Reach out. Don't let yourself be consumed by your circumstance.

There will be better days.

Hold onto me- you are amazing.

As for these days of sorrow,

This Too Shall Pass.

Believe.

There are songs

that I can't listen to anymore.

They may not have a certain significance

but they take my mind, my heart, to another place.

I place I yearn for.

Or a place that was so good

and is no more.

I want a new soundtrack.

Love me with melodies.

Love is my foundation.

And it's a beautiful, open thing.

I'm still figuring out what it means.

It hurts my heart

in the best way.

"In Louisville, on the corner of 4th and Walnut, in the center of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realization that I loved all these people, that they were mine and I was theirs. There is no way of telling people that they are all walking around shining like the sun." - Thomas Merton

We are all connected. We all possess good. We're not alone.

Find it. Cherish it. Feel it. Love it. Live it.

Can we please just

?

This may sound really odd

but here goes.

Sometimes, in everyday life, someone will say something to me

and I have a strong urge to respond.

In dance.

I want to stomp it out.

Tap with joy.

Roll and pivot and shimmy to no end.

Throw my hands up in joy and spin in circles.

Beat the ground then reach for the Heavens.

Spin like there's no tomorrow and throw it down.

Because I want to feel it. I want you to feel it.

Words make messy. Movements speak wonders.

I think it may express my feelings much better than words.

Which I am using less.

Because they just fill the atmosphere with raucous.

So.

Let me show you how I feel.
