. bonne annee .

A new year means a new me right?

New and improved.

Goodbye old me and hello someone better.

Someone more organized

more fit

more daring

more confident?

Not this time.

A new year means the same ol' me.

Improving on those things about myself I already love

I won't be better because who I am now is just fine

I may pick up a new habit or two

and by the end of the month I may forget what those were

I'll try to hold my head up high just as I did before

It's a new year and I'll continue being wonderful me.

Bonne Annee

Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-browed night,

And he will make the face of heaven so fine

That all the world will be in love with night

And pay no worship to the garish sun.

Whatever it is that you love to do

Whatever it is that makes getting out of bed worth while

 

Do it with your whole heart

Fill your art with everything you are

Practice it for you alone

Don't worry what other eyes would see or other opinions would say

What matters is that you make yourself proud

Love what you do and do what you love

Dance like nobody's watching

. step one : start engine .

Benny, my cat, and I had decided to go on a grand adventure today

♥

We were going to take our new plane out for a spin

Feel the wind in our hair...or fur...

See the rest of you pass below us as ittie bittie specks

as we waved hello to other birds of the sky

We were going to swoop this way..

...and nose dive that way!

There was just one sliiiight little problem...

a detail really...

...Neither of us knew how to fly a plane

Luckily for us,

I found a "Beginner's Guide to Flying an Airplane" manual tucked under the seat next to those big red flashy button thingies

"Step One:" it read

"Start the Engine."

Oh! Ok! Easy enough..start the engine...

Which button did that though?

The buttons all looked the same to us and while I've never been one to shy away from pressing big red buttons when I probably shouldn't,

something was telling me that maaaaybe doing that today wouldn't have been the best idea

So...

Benny and I didn't go flying today, but hey!

we got to wear cute clothes and flying goggles right?!

Don't allow anyone to make you believe 

that your imperfections aren't beautiful

Your imperfections are authentically you

and authentic you is what this world could use a lot more of

You don't

 have to be

perfect

. dream with your eyes open .

Don't limit your dreams to your pillow at night

or to that always distant "one day"

Instead...

Dream with your eyes open

Take in the beauty around you

Let it change and inspire you

Allow it to stir and spin in your creative being

Then watch as that dream unfolds

Be proud of what you can accomplish right now, today, and tomorrow

Just take a deep breath 

and

Dream with your eyes open

Beauty of a Sunset

There are few things in life comparable to a sunset.

When life gets crazy, gazing upon one reminds me that we're in the hands of the One who created it so I shouldn't trouble myself with insignificant things.

On wonderful days, when everything seems to be going just right, gazing upon one reminds me that there are gifts all around us if we only take the time to stop and appreciate them.

There's so much beauty in a sunset
