I saw this quote on swirlygirl’s blog and it hit home today. I have been feeling so lonely and anxious the last few days. The move is extremely scary for me for some reason. I talked to my friend Sadie who is moving a week before me and she is feeling the same way. This is a place we have both wanted to move to for so long, the anticipation is too much and the details of moving and the waiting…EEK! I am trying to keep busy by cleaning and packing, in fact, I am almost packed and the house is almost cleaned and I still have three weeks left. I need out of my head…
Phoebe also had a bad day today. She is older and I am not used to having an old girl. I can’t lose her right now, she needs live for a while longer…i know she has it in her, it was just a bad day and we all have those. Heck, I have had many.
I feel many changes taking place~physically, emotionally and spiritually. There are so many things that I want to accomplish and begin and continue. This move is bringing creativity and inspiration. I just can’t let these feelings of self-sabotage get to me. I have to push through these growing pains. I know that everything will be ok. Success will happen, I have to believe that…
“As you make a habit of not taking anything personally, you won’t need to place your trust in what others do or say. You will only need to trust yourself to make responsible choices. You are never responsible for the actions of others; you are only responsible for you. When you truly understand this, and refuse to take things personally, you can hardly be hurt by the careless comments or actions of others.”

I love this writer as well. His writing makes my heart flutter. Today this is me. Really, this is me most of the time, but today is a day I just needed someone to love me for me…just because. I guess that is why I have dogs. heh. Maybe tonight I will sleep. It has been awhile. I miss dreams ~ wonderland.

“I drink coffee like water and
I still never know what to say.
I still don’t know how to get out of bed
half the time. It’s not pretty,
or endearing. I whisper you secrets,
I am still looking to be saved,
sometimes I am so weak,
sometimes I am so strong,
here you go. I’ll give you every-thing
for one more chance.
My heart is ugly,
but it could be all yours.

oh. this has nothing to do with anything, but it makes me giggle.
I call all my dogs muppets.
