I'm saying yes to questions that haven't even been asked yet.

Making him happy, makes me happy.

This gets me off track.

Maybe I should stop doing that.

Lessons from Dr. Seuss

"We are all a little weird and

Life's a little weird,

And when we find someone whose

Weirdness is compatible with ours,

We should join up with them and fall in

Mutual weirdness and call it Love."

Best

Here's the fact.  You can't get a best friend.  Best friends become.  They don't happen in a meeting, or a year or two.  It's a package deal. Friendship is only as valuable as what you come through. 

You're either going to become the friends you thought you were at the beginning, or you're going to become memories.....

These are lessons from Felicity.

Joy Please

‎"All Joy reminds. It is never a possession, always a desire for something longer ago or further away or still about to be.'" - Lewis, SBJ

Things I learned from Mr. Knightley

"Vanity working on a weak mind produces every kind of mischeif."

"Men of sense do not want silly wives."

Reminder

"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished.  That will be the beginning."
-Louis L'Amour

This has been one of my favorite quotes for years.  I can't even remember the first time I heard it.  Now it's on a card that hangs in my office cubicle.  I just looked up, reread it for maybe the 10,000th time?, and it hit me all over again. 

Moving on.  I'm at the beginning. 

Heir to a Gypsy Soul

My grandma sent me an email this morning. 

I should have written you this note yesterday but WELCOME HOME again. It sounds like you had a great time even though you were also putting time in at work. You'll never regret all the traveling and sites that you see. You must have our wanderlust in your blood. We never tire of it either and Gramps get antsy every once in a while to get on the road even though we like our home here so much. But that's just the way he is. Hope you will have a GREAT DAY, Love you Gram and Gramps


They do travel all the time.  They've always traveled.  As long as I can rememeber.  They sold their house when I was in Junior High to become full time travelers in their 5th Wheel.  I used to be really bitter about them never being around.  They were the kind of people that never showed up to important events, but would give you money when they left, as if that made up for the absence.  I still think that a lot of the time.  They don't know me.  They never really have.  Is this who I am turning in to?  Is this who I will become?  I do have intimacy issues, I know this.  But I really think that I am intentional about getting to know people.  I hope so.  I hope the people around me do not feel abandoned.  Even if I always feel that itch to keep moving.

Deep, Inexplicable, Loyalties

I am on your side.
I am for you.
You don't even have to ask.

Does it seem like I am far away? Because that's how it seems to me.
I wonder where you have gone to... Have we slipped apart after everything that's been?
You are more important than you think, why can you not see?
I'm holding on, as long as it takes... I'm still in. 

I am on your side.
I am for you.
Please.  Let me be.

(this is really bad... super cheesy.  This sort of thing doesn't really come easy....it's a first try.  I'll work on it)
