finish every day

My bedtime mantra:


Lord, let me sink down like a stone, and rise up like new bread.  

 

Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some 

blunders and absurdities no doubt have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. 

Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be 

cumbered with your old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair. It is too 

dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

really do

I'm a blue and white girl from waaaaay back. (Am I too old to refer to myself as a "girl? Probably. But fuck it,  sometimes it fits.) 

Anyway. Lately I've become enamored all over again. Even my toenails are navy blue, and can I just add, they look fabulous!

and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

think nothing of tumbling

I just spent 1/2 hour out in the dark, some of it on my knees in the mud and wet grass, trying to lure a certain little shithead JRT named Rego out of a groundhog hole under the porch.

He dove headfirst into the dark burrow, thrilled at the prospect that maybe, just maybe, he'd actually find a groundhog. He didn't, but that didn't stop him from enjoying every minute of possibility.

I'm not so brave, nor itching for adventure. Nonetheless, I feel myself slipping down the rabbit hole, with none of Alice's curiosity, nor Rego's joyous bravado. I'd just as soon proceed with caution. But alas, that is not to be...

I might as well stop fighting it, and let go.

 `Well!' thought Alice to herself, `after such a fall as this, 

I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! 

How brave they'll all think me at home! 

Why, I wouldn't say anything about it, 

even if I fell off the top of the house!' 

~ Lewis Carroll

look out the streaked window with complacency

Attention, ark-builders: this may be a good time to get building. 

In the meantime, there are always silver linings...

The best kind of rain, of course, is a cozy rain.  This is the kind the anonymous medieval poet makes me remember, the rain that falls on a day when you'd just as soon stay in bed a little longer, write letters or read a good book by the fire, take early tea with hot scones and jam and look out the streaked window with complacency.  ~Susan Allen Toth
