pieces of sky #1


















These pieces are all pictures I've taken for the last few months with my old phone. I upgraded to an iPhone 4 today (yay!!) after a long wait to do so. *moment of silence for the old Samsung slider phone*
She was a good phone..all green and black and scuffed up..lol. Amazingly, it took decent pictures.

in lieu of a song this week...

I'm posting a link to an article about a local, Baton Rougian.

In my mind a truly heroic and selfless deed is its own form of good music. So rare and amazing in this day and age that one has to stop and take note.

Go, good guys. :)

(The word "link" is the link, btw..)

you must do the thing you think you cannot do...

One of my favorite quotes, and it comes from Eleanor Roosevelt.

Here, then, are the things I must do:

I must wake up tomorrow morning, and trudge through yet another week of hundreds, at a job I am beyond sick of performing.

I must not kill my coworkers. :D

I must combat the Java programming language and come out victorious, with another A, in three weeks.

I must readjust to several months of online classes to finish my degree next summer.

I must also pay for the more expensive (and mandatory) online classes.

I must laugh often.

I must make others laugh.

I must find the time, inspiration, and energy to draw/paint again.

I must begin training for a triathlon in the next month.

I must relearn how to swim, which I despise doing.

I must ignore the pain in my hands, knees, and left ankle while drawing, painting, and training.

I must continue forgiving.

I must spend less money on coffee and awesome pastries. :D

I must endure the impending holidays as "single me."

I must not jump out of a plane again, because I can't justify being risky anymore.

I must tolerate other humans.

I must stop and breathe sometimes.

I must collect more pieces of sky.

I must be flexible and patient.

I must cry.

I must not make others cry.

I must dream again.

I must make it snow. ;)
