i have spring fever... how bout you? :)

i am.......

I am: overloaded

I think: almost all the time

I know: too much, yet not enough.

I want: to "make it"

I have: more than i could ever want, but seem to want more.

I dislike: that winter is getting the better of me.

I miss: not worrying about some things.

I fear: not making it.

I feel: like my head is too full.

I hear: the humming of my printer and andy snoring.

I smell: bryce's wings that he made for supper.

I crave: sleep at this moment.

I usually: worry too much.

I search: for more..more knowledge, more achievements, more love, more contentment.

I wonder: if i will always be so blessed to live a creative life.

I regret: many things.

I love: my life, my family, my work, taking pictures, making art.

I care: too much i think (if that's possible).

I am always: thinking.

I worry: lots

I remember: not worrying and worrying more.

I have: the best of so much.

I dance: never.

I sing: sometimes.

I don’t always: make the bed.

I argue: too often.

I write: because it feels good.

I lose: hours in a day and have no idea where they went.

I wish: to SOAR.

I listen: with LOVE (most of the time).

I don't understand: why life can be so complicated some days and so easy others.

I can usually be found: at home, in the studio, at the post office, the grocery store or walking my dog. :)

I am scared: that some of my worries will come true.

I need: to BREATHE.

I forget: how blessed i am...sometimes...  and remember most of the time.

I am happy: to be ME.

quiet reflection

A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live. ~ Bertrand Russell
