A Year Ago: 'I was not aware until recently.  I did not know this music existed and I am sad for the time I missed and simultaneously glad for being here now. I'm not going to provide details of this band.  If you are interested please go ahead and search for that information yourself.  If you care, it may bring a smile.   I love the music I have heard from this band so far. Literally, everything makes me smile and feel an uplifted kind f joy that I do not feel often with just music.  Normally there has to be some sort of memory already attached to a song but this album I've been listening to today is phenomenal.  'right out tha gate.' DECIDE. Such a great word.  Yes, there are innumerable possibilities in this world.  Possibilities of the life you could live, the path you could take to lead you, hopefully, to heights of success and happiness you can't even imagine.  But, the thing is, you have to decide.  You can't let yourself sit there and think so much.

Photo Credit: Jill Wellington She appeared one afternoon, in the quad.  I’d never seen her before and I could guess it was her first day on campus from the way she looked at everyone and everything.  Her gaze seemed to linger on the smallest details, the leaves on the ginko tree by the cafeteria, the way everyone’s legs moved when they walked by, the light snow falling in the late afternoon sun.   I watched her for a while, from the fraternity's doorway.  I was late for my Russian class in Main Hall but I couldn’t stop myself from wondering where she had come from.  I took a step toward her and my movement caught her eye in the relative quiet of the quad.  We both froze. I held my breath.  She turned and ran before I could exhale, disappearing into the trees behind Sunshine hall.

It's Time To Grow

I was reminded recently that the world is a beautiful place.  In the middle of holiday preparations and wishes for the life of my dreams, my aunt reminded me this blog existed.  As I open the page today I realize, quite excitedly, that it is time to change the page.  The title holds, though.  I can name several times in my life where growth took me from one life to another and from one me to another.   Today, this week, this year is no different.

Teen Lola is happy, outgoing and totally doesn't mind getting her picture taken... She's pretty sure everything in this world is love. I think she's right.

St Patrick's Day

I'm not Irish, but I've always believed there's at least a pinch of Scottish blood in my veins because of my last name and The Scots' predilection for island travel back in the day. I also have a thing for run-on sentences :-). Last night I met up with my best friend and a slew of other people I sincerely like and had a whomping good time. I'm glad I was smart and, knowing I had to get home to my Lola, did not imbibe. Still, it was good. Now, after a few hours of cooking and some otherwise lazy sunday time, on to another week of workouts, normal-ish work hours and some much needed sleep and tasty meals. Hope everyone has a great week!!!

At my brother's for Christmas. I've already napped a bunch and only have a couple more things to get before Tuesday... Lola's being a super good girl and Larry, though only comfortable upstairs, seems to be juuuuust fine!

Lola is almost 10 months old.  She is 60 some pounds of awesome energy and sweetness.  I am almost 38 years old and  all housework and pet play.  My Lola and I make a good pair.  We also welcomed a new addition a few months ago, Larry the Cat is a beautiful gray ball of moody entertainment and he LOVES to mess with Lola.  I think he thinks he's winning most of the time but I'm sure he's drenched in Lolas drool all of the time. All pictures taken with my iPhone 4S.
