The Reason for the Season.
WISHING YOU A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
“Perhaps this provides an important distinction we should remember in our own holiday season. Maybe the purchasing and making and the wrapping and the decorating-these delightfully generous and important expressions of our love at Christmas – should be separated, if only slightly, from the more quiet, personal moments when we consider the meaning of the Baby (and His birth) who prompts the giving of such gifts. As happens so often if we are not careful, the symbols can cover that which is symbolized. In some of our lives the manger has already been torn down to allow for a discount stores running three-for-a-dollar specials…I, like you, need to remember the very plain scene, even the poverty, of a night devoid of tinsel or wrapping or goods of this world. Only when we see that single, sacred, unadorned object of our devotion – the Babe of Bethlehem – will we know why, ‘tis the season to be jolly’ and why the giving of gifts is so appropriate."

creative outlet. & inspiration.
Hello friends! I really should be finishing up a paper I have due tomorrow, but I thought I ought to take a break and do something creative. It seems my creative outlet has significantly diminished lately. So I figured it was as good a time as any to change that. These are just a few of my FAVORITE, inspiring quotes that have helped me lately.

friday happy list p.43.
this week started out really great and then wednesday night came around and everything kind of fell apart from there. i spent three hours crying myself to sleep last night and woke up with swollen eye lids. i could barely see. definitely not good, but apparently that's what bauling your eyes out does to you. so, needless to say it's been a rough twenty four hours. i think i'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel though. i guess that's just what you've got to do when you have an emotional breakdown. fall on your knees, pray a lot, cry a lot, take a nap, and get back on your feet. you can't stop fighting for your happiness...even if you want to.
i am HAPPY today because...
...pretty pictures of the temple.
...i LOVE this quote.
...sara bareilles' new song - beautiful girl.

..."love her mother" video for fathers.
...won an ad space on elise's pieces.
...three hour naps.
now it's your turn...what make's YOU HAPPY today?

the world you desire.
"do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. the world you desire can be won. it exists...it is real...it is possible...it is yours."
- ayn rand.
"this life is what you make it. no matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. but the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. but just remember; some come, some go. the ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. don't let go of them. also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. as for lovers, well they come and go too. and babe, i hate to say it, most of them, actually pretty much all of them, are going to break your heart. but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. you'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. just because you fail once doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? so keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly keep smiling because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."
