Loved Too Fondly...
"Though my soul may set in darkness,
it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly
to be fearful of the night."
~Sarah Williams
It is my firm belief that ladybugs are lucky.

“Why, for example, do the great writers use anticipation instead of surprise? Because surprise is merely an instrument of the unusual, whereas anticipation of a consequence enlarges our understanding of what is happening. Look at a point of land over which the sun is certain to rise, Coleridge…
Recently, I took on a summer nannying position. Here is a picture the girls drew with chalk. I love it! Yep, it’s just a picture of a rainbow, sun, some sky, and grass. And yes, the girls clearly have no true understanding of perception, or ROYGBIV. Yet, that is exactly what I love about it. It’s happy! (Personifying asphalt might be a stretch, but you get where I’m going with this.) At what age do we start becoming obsessed with truth? I wish adults were more like children. I wish that instead of black and white, and instead of shades of gray, more people chose to see life for what it truly is…
Colorful and imperfect.

Here are some pictures I took from my plane window while traveling home from St. Louis, MO. I’ve never been a huge fan of flying. For one, I get incredibly motion sick (on pretty much all forms of transportation.) I also suffer from the normal anxieties regarding planes. However, this trip was different. It was my first time flying alone, and somehow that made it better. (Granted, I loaded up on meds before takeoff.) I listened to music, tried to relax, and enjoyed the alone time. I particularly enjoyed the clouds. ”Heaven” doesn’t even begin to describe the views. The world feels small and huge all at once. More specifically, it feels small in its physical statue. The fact that planes travel countrywide and worldwide daily, blows my mind. Yet, our planet is huge when you think of population. This was particularly relevant as the plane began its decent. Seeing home after home, car after car… Well, I was in actuality seeing person after person. We all know that we aren’t alone in this life. But how often do we actually think of others? More specifically: their thoughts, fears, emotions, and secrets. We don’t. Well, not really at least. Yet, from the sky, that was all I could think of. Why was it that I needed to be removed from life in order to appreciate it?

Truth. I need to remind myself of this more often.

Isn’t that the truth? This week I have been somewhat negative, and I’m not exactly sure why. What I do know, is that negativity manifests its way into every aspect of our lives. This was definitely the case yesterday. I let my bad attitude consume me; therefore, consuming my whole day. Finally I snapped out of it. But still… So much time was wasted on negativity!
That is the exact reason I created this blog! I wanted to refocus my energy on things that me smile. So I’m reblogging this as somewhat of reminder to myself. Positivity can, and will, manifests its way into every aspect of our lives.
