"Bless the moment... and the years will be their own blessing. Many of us
live life in a rush because it allows us to believe we are going somewhere."

I have a massage in an hour and a half... ah!  Absolutely delightful.
I'm relaxed just thinking about it.

Word of the Day

Some of you may know my delight with new words, like vaguebooking and histrionics.  Here's my newest fave:

Chexting


By Zorianna Kit
Golf superstar Woods and TV celebrity James, who is married to Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock, have seen their lives unravel amid revelations of cheating on their spouses, in part by arranging liaisons via text messages.
Their affairs have spawned a new word in pop culture, chexting, and raised the question of whether it really is cheating on a spouse. The experts say, you bet it is.
"It's lipstick on the cellular -- digital proof that becomes evidence you've been unfaithful," says Peter Dedman of Predicto Mobile, the largest paid mobile community in America.
Definitely cheating.  Chexting.

Most of the misery in the world comes from trying to look, instead of trying to be, what one is not.
-George MacDonald

What prevents me from being genuinely true - reflecting the reality of my heart in all its beauty, brokenness, ugliness, joy, anger, meanness, hope, and mystery?  What fearfulness holds me captive?

I flipped the calendar over to April last night, and saw this...

...picture of little princess beside her buck-skin knight in shining armour.
Before I hung it up, I flipped through all the other pages...

...nostalgia.

...a revival of passion.
...a "remembering" of why I'm taking a course overload to finish my degree

...a deep love for each of these kids, and the many not pictured.
I miss my second home.
