…another sunny morning. Even though it’s still cold outside, some how it feels like spring is coming because of the sunshine…

…time to learn new things, hear new stories, grow in understanding…Shawn Anchor’s book, The Happiness Advantage…The Bileksi Brothers Movie (http://youtu.be/3a5cg9AMVTM)

…fair and honest retailers who are genuinely interested in doing the right thing. Fox River Tire. I will be a repeat customer.

…sleeping with the window open, feeling the soft warmth of my flannel sheets on my body.

“I think love is kind of like those waves out there,” she said. “You ride one in to the beach, and it’s the most amazing thing you’ve ever felt. But at some point the water goes back out; it has to. And maybe you’re lucky–maybe you’re both too busy to do anything drastic. Maybe you’re good as friends, so you stay. And then something happens–maybe it’s something as big as a baby, or as small as him unloading the dishwasher–and the wave comes back in again. And it does that, over and over. I just think that sometimes people forget to wait.” ~ from Joy for Beginners by Erica Bauermeister
