"The Nicest Thing"

All I know is that you're so nice
You're the nicest thing I've seen
I wish that we could give it a go
See if we could be something

I wish I was your favourite girl
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world
I wish my smile was your favourite kind of smile
I wish the way that I dressed was your favourite kind of style

I wish you couldn't figure me out
But you always wanna know what I was about
I wish you'd hold my hand
When I was upset
I wish you'd never forget
The look on my face when we first met

I wish you had a favourite beauty spot
That you loved secretly
'Cause it was on a hidden bit
That nobody else could see
Basically, I wish that you loved me
I wish that you needed me
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars,
Actually I meant three

I wish that without me your heart would break
I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake
I wish that without me you couldn't eat
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep

Look, all I know is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen
And I wish that we could see if we could be something
Yeah I wish that we could see if we could be something

A Day of Sharing

Hello and good morning! Here I am, two days in a row! It looks as if my goal to add a regimen back into my life is starting to catch on. So today i have decided that I would share some images, desires, and beautiful things with the world out there, or a few people who might actually be reading this :)
But first i have to tell you what a lovely day I had yesterday. I spent it up in Healdsburg, CA with one of my best friends. We spent the night listening to great tunes in the concert in the park. Savored cheese and crackers and sipped on wine that was given to us, from the Mercury winery owner (Brad) himself. Playing with an adorable dog named Freddie Mercury, we couldn't have been more a peace. To finish off the night, it called for a little bit more wine (red, this time) and some cheesecake with some very gracious friends. We enjoyed this last course out on the Windsor Green, with the remake of The Karate Kid 2 playing behind us on a blow up screen in the background. It was a truly beautiful evening and one that I hope to repeat every Tuesday.
Now onto more of my favorite things....

Desperation
by: Caitlin Connolly

Quiet my nerves and rattle my bones

keeping you close, is making me alone

i live in frustration

drowning in fear

wondering day to day what im doing here

in fear i speak,

 in the lies i swallow

cant i just stay here and lay a while

living my dreams in the nightmares that swell

will i ever get out from this hell

the beauty around me brushes my cheek

trying to queietly rock me to sleep

but nothing I find can bring me my calm

awake i quietly wonder where do i belong

among this world of anger and fear

but i step on the road thats keeping me going

and walking down im firm in knowing

i am strong

i am brave

i can breathe on my own

but all i want

is just to be home.

Hello, I'm Back Again

Hello my friends, I am back after a very long time. So as i predicted before, I did not do a very good job at keeping my blog updated. But I am back, and its a new and very different summer, and I am going to try and do my best with keeping consistent.
That has kind of been my theme of this summer, consistency and improvement. I have kind of fallen into a point of my life where so much change has been hitting me all at one time. I used to be a woman that loved a strict routine, and I am beginning to realize how much that actually benefited me in the long run. I always had a consistent boyfriend, friends, work schedule, classes, eating habits (though not always the best) and work out schedule. Currently looking at my life and what it is now I feel like I have really lost touch with all of that, and I desperately want it all back, or at least to some extent. I need to become more balanced and focused and much less afraid. I have lost so much confidence in the process of all this change and its time that I bring that back too.
So far I am begining to try and improve a few things in my life that I feel will begin to give me modivation and encouragement to update my life.
Some of these things include:

1.) Gardening EVERY sunday....no exceptions......well i guess the only exception is if im not anywhere near home at all on sunday. And if thats the case then I have to garden the day that I return back home.

2.) I am going to walk/bike ride to school all the days I need to go there. During this time I will not listen to my ipod, because I am learning to deal with my own mind again, and not to just push it away.

3.) I am going to only allow myself to spend money on a lunch i dont bring to work 2 times a month, no more than that.

4.) I am going to read a chapter of a book everyday.

5.) I am going to save a dollar into my savings bank acount everyday.

These are the beginning steps I am taking to start my new and improved lifestyle. Im trying to become the women that I would be proud of and to enjoy everyday I spend in my life, while trying to avoid as much stress as possible.
Let the challenge begin...
