This morning— weary, but not without hope— tired, but a quiet strength whispers in the wind…
Softly… gently… He beckons…

Random Thoughts
I really have a desire in my heart to be a stay-at-home mom these days. I don’t even have kids yet… Scratch that… I don’t even have a husband, which is the first essential ingredient in that mix… So I don’t know why I’m thinking about this necessarily… It’s just on my heart for whatever reason.

I WANT TO CUT MY LEGS OFF!
They hurt sooooooo freaking bad right now.
You should see me walk. It doesn’t even come close to looking anything like how a normal person walks. I feel like an old woman with a hip problem or something… except it’s not my hips.

INSANITY.
Today I started the Insanity workout videos with three of my friends. If you’ve ever heard of this, just know that the program truly matches up to its name. The workout is pretty insane. If you’ve ever done it, you know what I’m talking about. The whole time, I pretty much just wanted to throw up. It gets very difficult at times for me to even breath or keep going… but...

(I think my future husband and I will wake up and celebrate the silence together on many an occasion.)

The Seven Stories That Rule the World →
the-write-idea:
By Matt Haig
Are there any new stories, or have they all been told? The British literary critic Christopher Booker, has argued that there have only ever been seven basic plots, as follows: 1. ‘Tragedy’. Hero with a fatal flaw meets tragic end. Macbeth or Madame Bovary. 2. ‘Comedy’. Not necessary laugh-out-loud, but always with a happy ending, typically of romantic...

ilovereadingandwriting:
At one time or another, you’ve probably entertained the dream of becoming a well-known (read: downright stinking famous) author, in the manner of J.K. Rowling or Stephen King.
There’s little doubt that, at least once, you’ve held a published book in your hand and boasted, “I could write better than this!”
Many dream, but few possess the right combination of talent,...
