Rise up this mornin', Smiled with the risin' sun

There are a LOT of birds in Florida.

Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

"But because we don't know (when we will die), we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless".
~Paul Bowles

SOS she's in disguise

Watching Into The Wild again. Love this movie. Costume party this weekend. I love dressing up. I want to be unrecognizable this year.

Everyone has their own story You have yours, I have mine

Things here have been good, bad, good, bad, good, bad. They're good now. I'm just living my life. That's all I can do. Enjoying most of it though. So that's a good thing.
My son made me a card today. It said "Have a Happy Thanksgiving Mommy!" Later in the day, he got mad at me and ran upstairs to change the card. He crossed out the "Happy" and replaced it with "Boring". Apparently this is the opposite of happy to him. That kid just kills me.
Have a Boring Thanksgiving!

I had to win a stuffed doggie or I'd break her poor heart in two
