Time is both short and tall. A tiny puddle, an endless ocean. If I'm afraid and thinking far too much, It is an angry monster If I am willing and honest and good, It is a song I can sing to, A melody I know. And for now, I am singing.Trying not to fear, Or to shiver or to worry, For the birds have what they need.
And I too.

Hello, Miss Jones
Project Runway Season 8 winner, Gretchen Jones has released her line. Her website is currently underway, and I'm oh so excited to see everything she has and follow her success and her designs.
I love her clean lines, combined with flowy elegant and loosely fitted pieces. Her choice of neutrals with a punch of colour is bold yet simple, and her jewellry is amazing!! I would love to own every one of these pieces. She's great. Thanks freckle-farm for the peek.

Darling, Don't Forget
This is a song I kind of threw together, so it's reeeeeally rough... Also, my apologies for the horrible quality!
For W. P.

when it's wednesday...
Bonjour!
Today, I woke up chipper. I was doin' okay. I woke up on the right side of the bed... Or so I thought. The first thing I do every morning is peel back my curtain and say goodmorning to the lovely industrial parking lot view from my bedroom window. Well, maybe I should've postponed that move, although that would hardly help. I had to deal with what I saw eventually:
Snow. Lots of it. Far too much of it. And I instantaneously lost my mind. I almost wept. But I held it together as much as one could. A few impolite cuss words were spouted for the next 45 minutes as I got ready for work. A good many growls were also uttered throughout my day.
To be or to not be [a grump]? That is the question. I am fully aware of that one awfully painful decision. That sticky one. The one which determines the rest of your day...supposedly. I know it's a choice, it really is. But on a blusterly un-spring-like day such as this one, I am so very likely to give in to that deep, utterly strong desire to be a grump... And I did it with ease. I mastered the grumpiness. But, being a nanny and all, I must stay relatively composed and kind and gentle. And so I did! I managed to get through my day--somewhat forced to be a decent human being. And towards the end of my work day, beginning in the late afternoon, I was astonished to notice a very great change in my mood. I was rather jolly!
And then I thought, I need to do something or make something or learn something. I felt couped up. Due to the [STTUUUUPIIDDD] weather, I was unable to sweat out my forecast frustration at the gym.
SO what I'm actually trying to get at here, is that a) I survived today despite my severe disappointment and anger, b) The sun is supposed to shine plenty for the rest of the week, hopefully melting up the cold, white spew that is the snow, and finally c) I took some pictures, and here they are:

Bella Trailer 2
I just finished watching this movie. I had seen it a couple of times already, but had forgotten how amazing it is. There are so many elements to this movie that make it deeply beautiful, full of redemption, grace and goodness. This film paints a perfect portrait of mistakes, our complete inability to control what comes next, and the grace that comes with a second chance.
If you haven't seen it, I recommend it! It's so lovely.
Happy Sunday!

Words that come to mind today: "No Compromise."
Things I like about today:
I'm feeling a little more alive than I have in weeks.
I am tired, but I feel so awake.
I ate yummy yogurt.
I prayed more sincerely than I have in too long.
I played with puppets and read Robert Munsch and watched Finding Nemo.
I thought a lot about love, all kinds of it.
And what it really looks like.

GoodGlory&Hallelujah.
awake, my soul to something else/take the time and read a book/i'll take it off the shelf/
secret heart/oh the bravery begins/i'll step once and again into this/brave bones /oh strike a match
and burn this empty house down/to the ground/sing a chorus of /good glory/sing a chorus of/hallelujah too
