READY. FOR. FALL.

Ready for apple cider, boots, scarves, hot coffee by a warm fire.

Ready for Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and everything in between.

Goodbye summer, see you next year.  

A summer without the beach is sad and just wrong.  Reminiscing about my life back in Wilmington…

experience

emphasisadded:

“what is an experience? something that breaks a polite routine and for a brief period allows us to witness things with the heightened sensitivity afforded to us by novelty, danger, or beauty - and it’s on the basis of shared experiences that intimacy is given an opportunity to grow. friendships nourished solely by occasional dinners will never have the depth of those forged on a trek or at a university. two people who are surprised by a lion in a jungle clearing will – unless one of them is eaten – be effectively bonded by what they have seen.”

Bob Marley on how to love a woman

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.”
- Bob Marley


I never reblog things like this…. but preach. Preach Bob Marley.

Ben Does Life.: We run.

bendoeslife:

We run because we have to.

We run to go fast, and we run to go far.

We run to break the tape; we run just to finish.

We run for fun when no one’s around.

We run to get inverted V muscles above our kneecaps.

We run to get the regular V above our hips.

We run to clear our mind.

We run because…

Amen!

Mother’s Day 2011 at the Air Show in Smyrna, TN.

Blue skies, cold beer, and passion in my husband’s eyes.

Maybe in a few years I’ll celebrate this occasion differently, but for now it was perfect.
