just be

You must surround yourself with people who are happy and at ease being themselves, people who can laugh and make the best of the moment. In doing so you can be that person as well. Be bold and say what it is you wish to say no matter the emotion, the craziness or how bazaar the thought. If you have to think before speaking around closest friends then they are not your closest friends. People who are around you the most need to be the ones to understand you and let you be who it is you need to be.

Love yourself and the ones that are around you. Life is short and hard but it’s an amazing thing.

A child’s imagination

Cherine: What is that sound?

Me: It is a mighty dragon coming down upon us!!!

Cherine: oh no whatever are we going to do?!?

Me: I shall send Jasmine out to slay it!!

Cherine: She will need the help of a hobbit!!

Me: Go Cadan goooo!!!

Really, people leave us with their dogs?!? Amazing…

And to who may be concerned in New Durham, do not worry it was only a helicopter. We are safe for now.

       “Who you callin a hobbit?!?!”

                           or

        “Please don’t send me out.”

              Could be both haha

              26 days until Spring!

Over and over again

            I can’t wait to be old!!  Cherine makes it out to be such a joy!! She finds a book by her favorite author and can’t wait to read it.  How could she go all this time and never read this book!?!?! Few chapters into it she is in love with story and people.  At 10 chapters it starts.  Oh wait, I think I remember this grandmother.  Oh, I think I have read this book.  Unsure of how it ends she finishes it anyways.  This book that would have only been highly enjoyed once has now been enjoyed twice.  Both times as if it was the 1^st time. Now that is getting your money’s worth!!

Love

Love is silent
Love is actions
We voice it too often till it is white washed out
I love this song, I love this kind of food, I love this shirt, I love you.

In the ancient Greek language there is five different words that all mean love.
Agape- pure ideal type of love.
Eros- passionate love with sensual desire and longing.
Philia- dispassionate virtuous love.  Loyalty to friends, family, and community.
Storge- natural affection.
Xenia- gratitude between a host and a guest, someone who had previously been a stranger.

We only have one word that is meant to cover it all. Show someone what love you have for them today!

Just a regular morning

Cherine: I can’t wait for birds, green grass and warmth!!

Me: So you can put in your two A/Cs, make it really cold in here and I can wear just about the same amount of layers?

Cherine: Your mean.

Me: Yeah, well your stupid.

45 days until Spring!
