Floating . . .

(Some random Fall at Cunningham Park)

My experiences make me feel old (neither a good nor a bad thing) . . . but my lack of determination, commitment, and general movement toward personal growth make me feel naive and immature.

I'm not drowning, but I'm not swimming either. I simply float.
. . . I don't know how long that can last.

Fortress of Solitude got jack . . .

. . . on this.

If I was Batman, this would be my bat-cave.

Powder . . .

For some reason, I was surprised that a good snow storm still filled me with glee--the prospect of a snow day, snowball fights, and the exhaustion that comes from playing outside all day reminded me of what I guess I'd forgotten.

Shame on me.

Though I was hoping for a winter miracle to provide a double snow-day, the lovely and sparkling morning made me not care that it didn't.

Says the Tomboy . . .

I think I'm having a very girl moment right now, because I am absolutely enamoured with this simple and lovely dress. The colors, material, and shape are tempting to me as a shopper. Even after I saw the price.

December

It's that time of the year again. Assignments, unfinished work, exams, and the result of taking it too easy earlier in the semester--they are all facing me now. The growing uncertainty and insecurity of a loved one's state of health breeds a knot in my stomach and a weight on my back. To give into the whirlwind that is the darker side of life would be my undoing.

So here's to remaining upright in the winds that blow against you.

Gobble Gobble

This is probably the only turkey that would make me consider becoming a vegetarian. It's screaming thug yo.

To all the wonderful people I know and have known, thank you for being a part of my life.

Hoping you and yours have time and laughter to share with each other.



Happy Thanksgiving.

<3

It'd be nice if we were able to don masks every once in a while, and not reserve the whimsy just for Halloween. The magic of our imaginations shouldn't only be tethered in our childhood; it should simply originate from it.
