the beauty of today...

Round and round we go. I love the changing of the seasons. I love fall, but why does time have to go by so fast? Is this year really almost over? I wish I could stop it. Time, I mean. I always feel like time is passing me by. If I could only slow things down a bit, then maybe I could grab on. My kids are growing up so fast, that's the problem. Year after year, they just keep growing. There are dreams to be had, there are futures to behold, to be sure, but there's no need to rush to meet them. Today there's newness in the air. Newness is essential. Nowness is even more essential.

i know she can beat them...

Ever feel like a certain song is like the theme song of your life? Well what if that song is about battling pink robots... is that weird?

misery loves company...

They say misery loves company. I think that means, if you're miserable, you want people around you miserable as well. If you're in misery you don't want to see what a lovely time everyone else is having, right? Wrong. That's horrible! I'm giving new meaning to this phrase. Misery loves company- this means when April is feeling miserable, she wants people to say, "Oh you poor thing, how horrible that you feel like you have a piece of glass in your eye. I just don't know what i'd do if i had glass in my eye. There there everything's going to be o.k." Trust me, it's o.k. to be pathetic in this situation.

dervishness...

Wow! This morning i can't stop dancing! What's gotten into me? I think i must have swallowed some jumping beans by accident, or maybe one of those little green worms from James and the Giant Peach- you know, the ones that turn your life into a cartoon. Whatever it is, i don't mind. I love to dance- and when your life is a cartoon, it doesn't really matter who's watching. Isn't it funny though, same old morning, same old chai, same old music, yet something is different. I feel like a little wind up toy who couldn't stop dancing if she wanted to. Wahoo!
