poem of love for valentine's day

i carry your heart with me ee cummings

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

New year, new goals, new me!

OK, how cliche is this... 'this is a new year and I'm going to change everything!' I don't want to be cliche but I do want to implement some new things in my life, like:
Take a day picture.
Work on organization
Attend church regularly
Start counseling

So far, I've done all four! Course it is only January 14...


But seriously, look at that beautiful family! I don't mind bragging, life is a challenge for me, so I need to be reminded of the good. Since starting counseling again, my counselor was saying that chronic pain literally zaps all energy from you. Um, yeah! But you know what? It's nice to hear someone else say it.

I will start posting my pics and keeping up with my resolutions.



Day 1, January 1, 2009
Good-bye Christmas mantle, hello spring! I love changing my mantle out, I got this from my mom, she always made an effort to change things up. I love putting u the holiday decor, but after a while, the tree is dropping needles and it just feels good to know spring is on the horizon (so lucky to live on the California coast!).













Day 2, January 2, 2009- It's all about standing up for Karsen! He's grown so confident and loves to pull himself up to anything he can get to. Specifically, he loves the Leap Frog Learning Table. The baby-proofing is near completion, although, you think you have it all done and then you realize there's some other danger lurking around the corner!





Day 3, January 3, 2009
Seriously, I feel like laundry is my arch nemesis. Just when you get it done, BOOM! It all starts
back up again. I don't mind doing laundry, or folding, it is the putting away that gets to me. Not sure why, but as I type this I have a dinner table stacked to the beams (ok, slight exaggeration) with laundry, grrr....




OK, Karsen is sleeping on my bed and it's time for some cuddle time. More tomorrow :)
