Love...

So.....my favorite book of all time is called "Eat, Love, Pray" by Elizabeth Gilbert. Everyone close to me can attest to this fact as I have bought and forced them to read it also (I even highlighted my favorite passages for their viewing pleasure :-p). It's one of those books where it actually sounds like your best friend is reading it to you (not gonna lie, I can hear Mandi's voice). So I started rereading it, yes rereading it, and realized that I missed my favorite line the first time...she says, "I do a lot with guilt...like a lot of women do a lot with beige." And then I saw this quote last night from a card that just made me smile:
Fall in love or fall in hate.
Get inspired or be depressed.
Ace a test or flunk a class.
Make babies or make art.
Speak the truth or lie and cheat.
Dance on tables or sit in the corner.
Life is divine chaos.
Embrace it.
Forgive yourself. Breathe. And enjoy the ride....
(Solbeam)
So....the point of my post, is that there isn't much of a point but I'm trying my best to forgive myself, see all that is beautiful, and enjoy this terribly beautiful disaster!
