Words

A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all.

~Rita Mae Brown
Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement.

~Alfred Adler

Push Me

In a fine fit of frenzy, the Universe has decided not to do me any favors these last couple of weeks and I've had a couple of massive hits in the bad news department.

However, as my lovely friend Vicky puts it, "I have never met anyone as resilient as you." Which means, although I am having a bit of a hard time rallying lately, I steadfastly refuse to lose my faith.

So, until the higher beings decide to erase my student loans for this Masters degree in the school of hard knocks, I'm opting out of anything even mildly taxing.

Which is really just a long roundabout way of saying.... this post is fluff.

Lifted from RunJenRun...




Your Slogan Should Be

100sizemattjen



Jen. Stronger than Pain.




Your Slogan Should Be

Uncommonlygood



Jen. Uncommonly Made, Uncommonly Good.



Unable to decide between the two, I've adopted both and added my own pictures instead. And narrowly avoided including "Jen just keeps going. And going. And going." as well.

I'm working until 10 pm on Friday and then Vicky is picking me up at 0745 Saturday morning whereupon we will be boarding the ferry to Galiano Island for, among other things, our yearly weekend away.

This time, however, we'll only be staying one night as I have to be back at work on Sunday at 2 pm. Nevertheless, once we've landed we're meeting straightaway with the real estate agent to take a look at what I'd begun to think of as "my land" (although yesterday I found out that an offer had been made on it) before checking into the Sunrise Suite at Serenity by the Sea for a little girl-time.

At Serenity by the Sea Retreat you can feel intimately connected with forest, cliffs, ocean and sky. Each window is like a picture, framing gifts of Nature on every side. The hush of breezes and waves are undisturbed by the sound of cars, planes or boats. Sleep is deep.

We both need it.

Some of you may remember that I spent a week on Galiano with Matt before he left to go back to Australia and so, yes, this is the first time since then I've been back. I'll be doing my best to see it as a joyful return to the island as opposed to a floating land of sad memories. The only approach I think I can take actually, seeing as I may end up living there.

push me till I have to fly

i've shed my skin, my scars

and take me deep out past the lights

where nothing dims these stars
