30 days

I found this blog
and i really
just really
started to love this idea
of list making.

not just ordinary lists, but ones in which that help you organize, create, and think, everyday.

im excited to fill my journal with pages of these prompts, and though they're simple
i think it will be a fun experience.

heres some examples:


List #17: Words that are hard to spell
List #5: Weekend goals
List #2: Things i am good at
List #16: Things to see in my town

Enjoy!

smushed

ever feel like you could just press your face
right up against a glass panel


but possibly not desire to peel it off?


thats how i feel too!

Get Up and Went

today
for the first time
in a long while
i woke up smiling
woke up feeling an excitement in my bones
and a yearning in my blood

so i went with it
i went with it all the way to church
from new jersey to Pennsylvania 
i went with it at 100 mph
i went with it and smiled while i sang
smiled while i listened to the Gospel
smiled while i hiked up a mountain with caring friends
and i went with it
i went with it to the rocky rocks atop that mountain
and took it with me while i spoke of my rocky life
i went with it on the hike down
and the unfamiliar cruise home
i went with it to my apartment
into the familiar of my everyday's
and my reality of 'maybe's'
but i smiled the whole day
and held it in my hand
because for the first time in a long time
i felt my bones
and i felt the warmth of my body.
i woke up with these feelings today,

so i took it, and went with it.

done

Thankful

TGIF TGIF TGIF TGIF

this was a week filled with
"AHH's"
and
"NOOO's"
and
"CRAPPP's"
and
short heavy breathing to run to the next building to get more work done
and scratching my head once, twice, three times
to figure out:
"if a week like this is hard to balance out, how will REAL LIFE work out for me?"

so TGIF, and thank you Pixar for relocating my prior stressed out brain, to one of childhood memories.

hope this does the trick for you too.

sometimes you just need to laugh

until next week....

more minutes, please

Today i:
1. bought a cheese danish (the part i was saving for last, plummeted to the ground on my last bite)
2. blow dried my hair for once (took 30 minutes of tired arms, and i ended up gathering all my hardwork into a messy pony tale anyway)
3. went to the library on 3 separate occasions (i think all semester, I've been twice, total)
4. made a lot of nasty/funny/judgmental comments in my head in the library (i need to start writing these witty slurs no one can hear but me, down.)
5. painted like i used to (and had affirmation from my professor that it was a good choice)
6. made meatloaf with ashley (it took 4 times longer than i wanted, but man, does a loaf of loveloafmeat sit well in your stomach)
7. wished there were 3 more hours in the current day (because now i'm left feeling somewhat like this:
