suffering is pain that feels yet unheard and unloved. 

healing is pain that feels loved and listened to.

happy weekend everyone. 

i hope it's filled with quotes, love and laughter.

how about you.....

could you use a wish right now, too?

well, not blank blank.....

i've got nothing. i'm sitting here staring at my computer and my mind is blank. well, it's not blank blank. technically i believe it's impossible for a woman's brain to ever be blank, but you know what i mean. normally under these circumstances, once i bring up a few photos, my stubborn uninspired brain starts running around like a child hyped up on sugar, but this morning, nothing. well, nothing of importance.

let's see. did you know... that for the most part i hate commercials and think most of them are stupid and too loud. that i make my own chicken marinade and salad dressing. that the prepackaged chopped asian salad from walmart is my new all-time favorite salad to make for dinner {with the addition of grilled chicken breasts} and the only reason i will go to walmart. that i'm a target snob. that i am hooked on "the following" and now "hannibal." that my hubby hates both of those shows. that i took the screen protector off of my iphone which means without question, i will now drop it and scratch it. that my hubby brought me flowers last week and because i'm a green thumb freak and take care of everything plant related like they're babies, that they are still alive and beautiful. that my hubby never brings me flowers and that i love that he did. that working at our local food pantry {in which i work in the clothing center} makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. that we haven't seen any good movies lately and that makes me sad and that i'm overdue for a vacation?

for the weekend.....

* i'm in love with lightly salted roasted edamame.

* i love reading these little stories. they make me happy, sad and grateful.

* yet another blog post regarding how we write about our so called perfect lives. nobody's perfect.

* holy cow. i want love everything in this etsy shop.

* i like what i see here and here. beautiful photos are so inspirational to me.

i hope that this weekend you are fearless and that your days are filled with love, happiness and family. don't be afraid to be you. don't be afraid to say what you think. believe in what you believe in and please, do what you love to do. oh, and dance. make sure you dance. even if you don't love to dance, do it anyway. i promise it will make you smile...and those dancing with you will smile and then they'll laugh and fall in love with you all over again. oh, and if you don't want your photo taken, close your eyes. your photo will still be taken, but you won't see it happen.

today, just love and innocence.....

she's thee months old now and weighs ten and a half pounds. most of her weight is in her crazy, lovable, rambunctious, silly, curious and loyal heart. our vet says she's beautiful and thinks she is the most precious specimen he's ever seen {yep, that's what he calls her having never seem a mixture of boxer, lab and miniature dachshund} i have to tell you, our son is doing an amazing job with her. she listens, obeys and is potty trained and has turned his already patient and lovable self into an amazing dog owner. i'm not sure who has learned the most about life from the love they share. i think it's a pretty equal match.

the only thing you have to be careful about when you're around her, is turning to mush. she has a way of doing that with everyone she comes in contact with. oh, she also has a way of jumping up into your face and licking it faster than anything i've ever seen before, while possibly getting an ear nibble.

what is it about puppies? 

i mean really, think about it, and now add babies.

simply the best. right?

broken.....

yesterday's tragedy has left behind incredible pain and once again, disbelief.

my prayers and thoughts go out to the families who lost loved ones and to the survivors whose lives have been changed forever.

peep peep peep.....

oh my gosh, feathery love everywhere...including ankles and feet.

i'm so happy my sister has new baby chicks. i was really getting tired of taking landscape photos.

the white ones will grow up to look like this. oh man, are they going to be great or what?
