.thinking.of.you.

this was outside the door of my building the other day. the roses a dark stained red-black, the water gone violet. i was in a rush and did not pause. the next morning, they were still there. the note read: "thinking of you. i guess you aren't anymore!"

Happy Love Thursday!

.hard.time.sleeping.

i find that nowadays i wake up tired, like i haven't gotten enough sleep. because i really haven't gotten enough sleep. my mornings are spent lethargic, eyes clouded over until the jolt of caffeine kicks in. it never does, at least not during the daylight hours. i come home and later into the evening the pricklings of sleep abate and i toss and turn in my bed, waiting for slumber. only to have the cycle start again and i am back to being torpid, mind blowingly ... tired. and the grey mornings of late winter does not help.

“All the windows of my heart I open to the day.” ~John Greenleaf Whittier

spring is finally around the corner. march is over halfway over already. i am hopeful. just for the sunshine and warmth. for the country to claw our way out of this economic slump. march madness starts today! (my alma mater made it to the dance and tho they probably will not advance beyond the first round, i really am excited for the Highlanders!)

and that these braces will make my teeth straighter much faster than anticipated and they'll come out sooner. :)

.live.laugh.love.

i took this picture upside down. well, actually, at a weird angle. i think this quote "live laugh love" is so true. it means something, or it should. and as i get older, it's something i want my everyday to be like.

happy heart thursday.
