Wake up, o sleeper

Here's my advice:
Hike when it’s sunny and drink lots of water. Hand-write letters. Sit in a cafĂ© and enjoy the atmosphere. Forgive quickly. Listen attentively. Live honestly. Revisit your childhood and enjoy art by going outside the lines. If you don’t own a library card, get one. Use it. If you hear a song and you like it, dance. Always remember that blowing bubbles takes less effort than typing on a keyboard. Let your running shoes kiss the sidewalk more than once every three months. Talk is cheap. Action begins with you taking the first step. Never forget that we were made to fellowship with others. ‘X’ out of facebook, quit watching Justin Bieber on youtube, hold the emails, and realize that you were born without a cell phone attached to your limbs. People are valuable, invest in them. Hearts are fragile, don’t mess with them. Don’t take God lightly. His watch doesn’t run by our biological clock. Take a step out of your comfort zone and get uncomfortable. Don’t rush life, savor it. Make friends with the elderly, they’re wiser than you. Your brain is larger than you realize, be open to learning. Travel the world. It’s bigger than you think. And never, ever, take the air your breath for granted. Life can vanish in an instant.

The State Fair

Hello loves, how has your week been? I've been at the fair quite a bit lately...
..eating scones.
...people watching.
...singing with OneRepublic.
... and gawking at the canned goods, wishing I was as good at life as the people who do this as a hobby. 
 
Shoes: TOMS. Skirt: gift. Bag: thrifted. Sweatshirt: JCPenney.  
What do you have planned this weekend?
What's you're favorite thing to do at the fair?

Go Fish

Today I went fishing. 
Real-life fishing. I live in the beautiful Northwest,
so you would guess I'd have this accomplished sooner.
But no sir, today was a first.  
Not even a stick and a worm! 
My oh my, I've ventured that path many a time.
And let me tell you, I've caught quite a few handsome little vertebrates.
But today ...today was a day for the big dawgs.


These are the salmon I caught! 
A big thanks to my father for taking me out, and to Jim, for letting us intrude his boat with him for the morning.

Highs and lows with Katie!

Aujourd' hui, I was in a hurry. 

Top highs and lows today:
High(s): 
Sunglasses mean sunshine. Three cheers for warmth.  
Skype. 
Free scones. 
I have a creative kick going on right now..
..kickin' like nobodies biznezz. I'll tell you sometime.      

Low: 
Not one, not two, but THREE whole buttons fell off my pants today. I should have bargained more when I purchased them in the Philippines. Guess what? The buttons were glued. Looks like those sewing lessons from Great Grandma will come in handy tomorrow.

Truth.

Jesus is like a doctor. 
Doctor's don't stay in business with healthy people.
He came for the sick. 
Grace, compassion, mercy, forgiveness, and love.
I so badly want to be more like Jesus.
I want to love people like Jesus loves people.
