Be Better

Life's a Garden, Dig It!

I never thought I would say this, but there is nothing like a good solid chunk of time spent gardening. It feels so rewarding when you see results, something I grew myself.  And I gotta say, it turned out alright. Not great, but not terrible either, things are growing!

Plus all the digging around gives you time to think, like a mind work-out. I am certainly enjoying it much more than I thought. This might be a hobby I will keep around. It just feels good for the soul, or something like that. 

Hey Pretty Girl can I have this dance?

Hey pretty girl, won't you look my way Love's in the air tonight You can bet you'll make this ol' boy's day Hey pretty girl, won't you look my way Hey pretty girl, can I have this dance And the next one after that Gonna make you mine there's a real good chance Hey pretty girl, can I have this dance Hey pretty girl, it feels so right Just like it's meant to be All wrapped up in my arms so tight Hey pretty girl, it feels so right Life's a long and winding ride Better have the right one by your side And happiness don't drag its feet Time moves faster than you think Hey pretty girl, I wanna take you home My momma's gonna love you She'll make me sleep on the couch, I know But hey pretty girl, I wanna take you home Hey pretty girl, lets build some dreams And a house on a piece of land We'll lant some roots and some apple trees Hey pretty girl, lets build some dreams Life's a long and winding ride Better have the right one by your side Happiness don't drag its feet And time moves faster than you think Hey pretty girl, you did so good Our baby's got your eyes And a fighters heart like I knew she would Hey pretty girl, you did so good Hey pretty girl when I see the light And it's my time to go I'm gonna thank the Lord for a real good life A Pretty little girl and a beautiful wife

Rain is a good thing

Oh the simple things in life. Sometimes we take life for granted, and forget to slow down and smell the roses, so to say. Or smell the rainfall after days of heat. I have a million things on my to-do list, but nothing seems as great as some tea, my book and a cozy blanket as I listen to the rain fall into the earth. After the sun, the earth probably enjoys a good drink to replenish itself. And I think we need that as much as the earth does sometimes. After going, going, going, don’t forget to stop and recharge. After being replenished we can pick up and keep on keeping on. Dolly Parton said, “If you want a rainbow you have to put up with the rain.” And waiting for that rainbow is worth it, enjoy the lull! Life isn’t always beautiful, but it is a beautiful ride.

Midnight Swims

My longing for someone else always seems stronger in the summertime. Maybe it is because it is when I have had the most fun, and the most love, under the summer sun. I want someone to share midnight swims and kisses with. Someone to keep me warm by a fire, even if I am not cold. Someone to look up at the night sky with and smile under the stars. Life just seems so much more free in the summer, and I want to capture that. I want to start something amazing in the summer, and carry it with me the rest of the year.
And if this does not happen then I want to capture that summer fun, that feeling that exists when the days are long, and the nights are sweet and warm.
Hopeless as always, and loving every minute of it
