one evening...

Some

claim they are just words,

meaningless fragments

of nothing 

scattered 

about my paper.

Some

claim they are used carelessly,

shattering plates of clear

colorful glass.

But

to me

they are passionate stars,

magically absorbed

So each one I give to you

please hold tightly.

My words have wings.

“Life is the art of drawing without an eraser.”

Changing the world is good for those who want their names in books.

But being happy, that is for those who write their names in the lives of others, and hold the hearts of others as the treasure most dear.

I know an angel, she doesn't wear any wings.

Goodbye 2008, Hello 2009.

oh, I am ready for you.

It's always really interesting to go back and reread old blog posts & you know what, this past year has definitely had its ups & downs. A roller-coaster ride of emotions would be one way to poorly describe it.

I've learned alot about myself this past year: what pushes me to the edge, what makes me smile (family & friends), what I care about, what I don't care about, what I like, what I dislike. It's not like I didn't know some of this stuff beforehand, but I surely learned a few new things or so.

Anyways, I'll keep it short & sweet. I've got my new year's resolutions and will I share them with you? Maybe.

Today I am thankful for my momma. She has unconditional love, whether I'm a good daughter or not & I should show her that I appreciate it. That's an understatement.
