practice of patience

These lovely boxes arrived yesterday.  Unfortunately  I won't be able to use them until later in the week.  *sad face*  For now I will just admire them sitting on my desk and look forward to becoming great friends.

26.  Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you.
31.  Having someone play with your hair.

"There is no measuring how this makes me feel."

this one.

She knows.

Okay, this post really has nothing to do with this mutt.  But everything to do with the fact that I am now the proud owner of www.FallGirlPhotography.com.  I have no idea what I am going to do with this website, if anything, but I am going to try to find time to play around with it this weekend. 

"It's a knowing smile of someone that knows things I don't and feels things I can't sense, always."

"And you love me, and you're smiling."

homemade, homegrown.

I made Indian Tacos.

They were tasty but the best part was my homemade, homegrown salsa.  YUM.  Tomatoes, jalapenos and cilantro fresh from the garden.  I may never buy salsa from the store again.

Finding Pieces

Found one on a summer night with the windows rolled down and Hip Hop Nation vibrating the seats.

“If only. Those must be the two saddest words in the world."

Love

Borrowed from Wikipedia...

Eros (ἔρως érōs) (from the Greek deity Eros) is passionate love, with sensual desire and longing. The Greek word erota means in love. Plato refined his own definition. Although eros is initially felt for a person, with contemplation it becomes an appreciation of the beauty within that person, or even becomes appreciation of beauty itself. Eros helps the soul recall knowledge of beauty and contributes to an understanding of spiritual truth. Lovers and philosophers are all inspired to seek truth by eros. Some translations list it as "love of the body."

"And you were shoveling snow from the walk in front of our house. And I was the snow, I was the snow. And everywhere it landed and everywhere it covered."

{memories}

It seems like every day for the last couple of months I have had a flash of an old memory sitting outside the Stillwater Post Office listening to Nora Jones.  I am not sure there is any significant reason for this strong memory but it is a good one and I will keep it.

"Désolé mais j'ai raté vous."
