reconnecting with old friends.

This is something that happens every once in a while...and I love it!

And today, as silly as it sounds, I am happy to reconnect with my old friend, my little blog.

Why have I not been keeping this active? It is good for my soul to do. And so I will right this wrong by bringing it into my life again.

Today has not been a terribly beautiful day, but here is something that I started, and am semi-hopeful about:


The Kingdom Experiment: A community practice on intentional living.
This combines two of my life goals--living intentionally (I've used this phrase for years, now), and experimenting all the time with new and different things (as an example, when I started this blog, I called it my holy experiment).

LOST anticipation~ worth it??



The series finale of LOST got a lot of hype!

from webcomics


to Youtube fan vids


To official franchise marketing

To being talked about by media and other popular culture



But did the 2 and a half hour end to this show satisfy??

Some responses indicate so, while others show great disappointment.

it hurts

it hurts.
a dull pain, but one that reaches from it's settled position below my belly button. it reaches all the way up to my throat, bubbling just out of spitting up range. like wave after wave of relentless hart monitor beeps, it keeps coming. it droops, too, all the way down to my toes. my thighs are heavy; and more pain keeps oozing down. It seems all consuming. Pretty soon, all I will be is a big glob of hurt.

this is not beautiful.

The Friendship Algorithm

princesses

Ordinarily, I am not a fan of princesses. Ask any of my friends, and they will tell of my dislike of Disney (hence, my love for the below picture).

However, below are three books about princesses that I love~and that I recently put together. A trilogy of sorts?! :)
One for children, one for a slightly older audience, and a grown-up book.

The Paper Bag Princess

The Ordinary Princess

The Princess Bride

All three are charming. And take a less traditional slant on life, which I truly love. I think that they're beautiful.

Corny and sweet

He had a dream where he was showing someone around all the places he knew from his childhood home town. He said it made him feel melancholic, and nostalgic. But then he found out that his girlfriend was in town~and got his daily dose of vitamin 'me'.

When I was sad a little while ago, I sat behind the coach, pretending to hide from the world like a little kid. And he told me that it's hard to hide a sunbeam from the world, because even in the darkness of the night, its light reflects off the moon.

He sang for me the get-better-when-you're-sick song (from Big Bang Theory): Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur; soft kitty, warm kitty, purr, purr, purr.
