We can all learn from nature.


I know I have posted this picture before, but I think currently it warrants being posted again.

This tree is on the edge of a cliff at Yaquina Beach, Oregon.

No matter where you are planted it is up to you to grow, we make take a few wrong turns now and then, but as long as our stem is solid, we will survive.

Smile more, laugh much, drink more wine.

Celebrate today.

    I don't think it's JUST coincidence that I was depressed last night and then you posted this

    I know you can relate to this. Moving so much, sometimes it's hard to start over, but each place is what you make of it. Some days I have to remind myself that I wanted to live on a tropical island.

    After spending the last couple hours of my day fighting everyone of my friends on facebook, I decided to apologize to them. I didn't ask them to be friends again, because I'd feel wrong about it, but I did ask for forgiveness, because to be honest, I was a horrible person to them. I looked over your post again, and I felt hope. I felt like I could find my way out of this mess. You know what they say... one door closes, and another opens, right? Thank you so much...

    @ Meg ~ I hear you from one military wife to another.

    @ Leila ~ recognizing that you were a bitch and then apologizing is huge... you are light years ahead of so many adults.

    :O you did NOT approve my last comment! How could you?! Eh i barely said anything anyway...

    Thanks for "liking" my new look, though I'm quite dissatisfied still! Haha you're not going to tell my mom that I never got to finishing my homework because of the endless distractions right?
