Sometimes, some words have a way of encapsulating the theme of a certain day, or a certain string of days, and even certain strings of weeks, or months.
Sure, I'll go.

These words: “Life is too short not to have the underwear, the coffee, and the haircut you want.” "Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies." - Mother Teresa When a man is getting better he understands more and more clearly the evil that is still left in him. When a man is getting worse he understands his own badness less and less. A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right. This is common sense, really. You understand sleep when you are awake, not while you are sleeping. You can see mistakes in arithmetic when your mind is working properly: while you are making them you cannot see them. You can understand the nature of drunkenness when you are sober, not when you are drunk. Good people know about both good and evil: bad people do not know about either. -C.S.

<3, Michy This week I learned the difference between a 2-cycle and 4-cycle engine, how to start, clean and fuel a weedwacker, and how to drive a zero-turn mower. I was also taught that good work leaves you covered in dirt, and reminded that water breaks are essential.
I can know say hello, how are you, where are you from, and where do you live in Spanish. Being reminded of my limitations in language is humbling. I have been reminded that communication is key and that, at times, conflict is crucial to community building. This week has been good. I hope your week has treated you well and that this weekend brings you rest and laughter! Much love and bermuda grass, Michy Never having to apologize for broken hearts or boos boos. All the band-aids and tea you could ask for (without having to ask). Free salves from the Herb Crew. Friendship is good.
xoxox, Michelle We're in day two of five; my weapons of choice to survive the week include more coffee and pizza flavored gold fish...or maybe just pizza.
xoxoxx Michy Oh my God, what if you wake up some day, and you’re 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written; or you didn’t go swimming in warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen. Here's to a great year that takes us all higher than the glass ceiling.
Michelle xoxoxx Jason Mraz + Raining Jane are the realest. (Sorry, Iggy!)
Summer wishes and dog kisses,
Michy Dimmi con chi vai e ti dirò chi sei.
This summer I have many goals: Sleep in Work well and hard Earn ALL the cash-money Travel as often as possible Grow good food Knit cool coasters for Jessica Reconnect with old friends Stay in touch with new ones Become a person who owns more than one pair of jeans Become a blogger who actually blogs Face my fear of driving a stick shift ...and I'm sure much more. But at the end of the day--or rather the end of the summer--whether I've done all these things or not I want to live simply. I want to be filled with gratitude for this beautiful existence I call my life and I want to enjoy what I've been given now instead of worrying about things that will likely never happen. So in the spirit of Hemingway my most important goals this summer include: eating well, sharing, laughing often, and loving those who around to be loved. How will you live simply this summer? xoxox |
