...and there's strawberries



It's no secret to those around me that I love TED. Great ideas and even some I don't agree with are there. Today, I found this little nugget of inspiration featuring Ron Finley. I consider myself a novice gardener, this season will only be my second. I have witnessed the positive effects gardening not only has on me, but my family. I do believe everyone should and can garden. I even had my youngest brother telling me the other day that he wants to garden, but has limited space. I told him he could container garden and would still reap the benefits of veggie bliss. Like Finley stated, "go be a gangsta gardener." Oh, I will!

Arrested Development

This is 31. I am 31. Sometimes I forget that I am 31, and still think I'm 30. Purely accidental. I'll be 32 in September, wow. I don't feel like I should be this old already, but I am and that's OK. I have good things in my life that keep me happy and content. If I didn't I probably feel worn. Reflecting on my 20's, I feel like I wasted time not doing anything to be a better person. So I'm actually 21, because that's when you get a college education, plan for kids, a house and stable financial future. I'm a little slow, no I just did everything backwards. It's all just coming together now and I still have time. There's still time to have a career, raise my kids, get married and make a retirement plan. I'm a work in progress and there's progress which is great.

Bring on 22!

Mexican Stand Off

(sorry for the run-on)

Mexican Stand-Off

In a world best described as unwittingly blind I held my head up strong not to be trifled or trampled upon then across came a man he stood with such candor unflinching broad shoulders we met at a pass and neither would bow to be so gracious that would be atrocious so we kept bumping heads like two silly goats stranded on a mountain top high it was a Mexican stand off this allegory tells of a love forlorn of two lovers squabble how neither was wrong nor could let their guard down oh just to see how magical it could be if the other said you're right, I'm wrong live in undying bliss if it didn't go amiss an amicable way not be headstrong everyday just to get your way and stubborn prideful listless sentiments spilled onto the floor a Mexican stand off is what I'm in
