This is how I feel about the people I love. Especially the people who deserve Gold Star Stickers.
This is how I feel about people on MY LIST.
This is how I feel 50% of the time.
This is how I feel the other 50%
This is how I feel about people who smell bad.
(Yes I do think I'm Scarlett O'Hara - is that a problem for you?)
This is how I feel about people who don't listen to me.
This is how I feel about people who do!
This is how I feel inside.
But sometimes it's more like this.
The times when inspiration hits I lift my soul to the sky.
Sometimes I have to fight for people's rights and this is how I feel.
There are times when I just have to sing and dance - there's simply nothing else to do.
My mama used to say that I was the queen of this place.
(The Queen of "da-nile" get it?)
She's wrong - it's really here.
But all of this adds up to me and there is no one else I'd rather be.
I have felt mentally, physically, and spiritually fractured this week.
I hid in my bed and wallowed.
But while this week was pretty rough I refuse to let it break me.
Now I’m done.
I turned a corner today (figuratively – literally I turn many corners every day).
I feel recharged and rejuvenated.
I did not reach this place of peace and joy all by myself, however - there are some very important things that provided the necessary boost to my spirits.
* Azalea Pink nail polish
* My Pink Pashmina recovered
* A big glass of ice cold orange juice
* Pandora Psychic Radio
* 2 beautiful blue sky days in a row
* The most amazing circle of friends and family
* Inspiring mentors
* Kind and generous people
* My beloved talismans of positive energy
What more do I need with the sun shining on my face and a song in my heart?
I love The Love.
Even though I do not have a "lovey-dovey" Valentine today (I do have John Boy who is my forever-please-never-let-me-go-to-Vegas-with-him-because-we-would-end-up-hitched-Valentine).
I am full to the brim with The Love.
I just love it.
The Love.
I lerve The Love.
So I thought I would share some of my all-time favorite quotes and poems about The Love.
HAPPY
VALENTINES
DAY
“It was the love of love,
the love that swallows up all else,
a grateful love,
a love of nature, of people,
of animals,a love engendering
gentleness and goodness
that moved me
and that I saw in you.”
-William Carlos Williams
"You were made perfectly to be loved
-and surely I have loved you,
in the idea of you,
my whole life long"
-Elizabeth Barrett Browning
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of theroot and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
-E.E. Cummings
