a sunset drive and loud music
is all
you really need….
it fills in all the cracks in your heart
and stops the chatter in your head…
tuesday truths...
i have a bad habit
of hiding
and avoiding
and procrastinating
and pretending
and creating distractions
and diversions
and delusions in my head
that everything is fine
when really
there are things i should be
facing…
i am an ostrich
sometimes
with my head in sand.
(ok. who am i kidding…
i am probably not as tall as an ostrich
and the thought of burying my head
in sand immediately makes feel claustrophobic)
(and now i am wondering if
ostriches even do that…is that a fact?
or did i make that up
somewhere along the line?)
anyway.
todays tuesday truth
is that i am trying to shake myself
out of this habit…
i am trying to make myself
face reality at least
once a day.
do one “grown up thing”
(preferably, one i have been putting off for a long time)
each day.
bills.
laundry.
groceries.
research an oil tank.
the not-so-fun stuff….
but still allow myself
time every day
to lose myself in a good show
or escape in a book…
to write or draw or paint.
balance.
it’s all about balance.
whatcha readin'? 2019 {book 7::goal 25}
I probably wouldn’t have noticed this book
if it hadn’t been for Reese Witherspoon
(who I adore by the way and now I kinda wanna
watch Sweet Home Alabama again…)
and her Hello Sunshine bookclub…
Anyway, I digress…often…heh.
I will just tell you
that I loved this book.
Loved.
Like capital L loved it.
Her writing was beautiful.
I adored the characters and might have had a
small crush on Tate.
(To be added to my list of crushes on fictional characters:
Gilbert Blythe and Mowgli from the Jungle Book)
(Again, I digress…)
The writing, the story, the characters…
everything was just flawlessly and poignantly beautiful.
Go read this one.
Do it.
When have I steered you wrong?
Ok…there was that one time but
you promised you wouldn’t bring
that up again…
heh.
(what? oh yeah. I digressed. Again.)

NEXT UP: THE DRY - JANE HARPER
friday i'm in love....
♥ with feeling my fitbit go off with crazy happy vibrations of finally
hitting 10 000 steps again. I have been on a bit of lazy kick. But this
nice weather (and the inevitability of future dairy bar visits) has
pushed me back into action.
♥ speaking of dairy bars…I made my first stop at a dairy bar
tonight as a reward for raking the lawn (with a rake that only had
about 4 teeth)…and ran into one of my best friends and her daughter
which made getting a turtle ice cream sunday THAT MUCH MORE FUN!
♥ this is so crazy. I just can’t even….
♥ filed under “things i must have or I will most likely die”…..
♥ the #the100DayProject I am trying this but not planning on posting everything
because then I end up getting overwhelmed and not finishing…but this is
one of the doodles I have done.
