catherine elizabeth turns 2! :) 

This picture always makes me smile. Not only are the colors festive, but the actual picture reminds me of my time in Ireland for spring break-- this is the backside of the Dublin Castle area. Why it looks like a box of crayons is beyond my understanding, but it suited my needs just fine. And now I look back and in this picture I can reminisce (rem·i·nisce: had to look it up-it didn't look right, but it is) about all the fun times in Dublin. Thanks J.

love...

does anyone truly understand it? do we realize when we show love or when we don't. Do we equate dashing hopes and dreams with keeping our love from one another. encouragement and love go hand in hand. when will we see this? when will we become zealous to encourage and love our neighbors? our enemies? who are we to ration out love to whom we find worthy? and what of outward appearances? Should the beautiful receive love based on their beauty, but those without physical beauty be denied such a human right? And who am I that I should be loved without first showing love? What is love?

somedays...

need more sunshine. This is one of those days. It's like getting your car stuck in the mud and not being able to push it out, or pull it out. Maybe I'm just crazy. WAIT. no, I KNOW I'm crazy, but perhaps that analogy makes no sense to most of the world :) However, I'm done pushing and pulling for the day. It's time to redirect the efforts and let the car sit in the mud till the sun comes out.
