Leaping Through Puddles.

I thought about doing a post in celebration of Leap Year today. Well, I had nothing. But since you are reading this, I most certainly have found something to say then, right? Not really, but I'd like to give a few words of inspiration to open your eyes to brighter things in this world. 


A dear friend of mine sent to me the other day a little text message that said "Leap Year. For a day, live life like it Matters." I have been suffering with a tough time for those few days before I got the text and momentarily thought "Does it matter?" Then I would have surly said, 'Possibly not. Not for I, a girl who can't get things right." Alas, now, a few days later I find myself not living today like it mattered, but day-dreaming like it did. The day is closing and I realized that you don't have to do anything spectacular to make it special, but treat it like this day was another day, a day to step forward with your life, a stepping stone towards your goals. I'm taking small, feeble steps now. For a girl whose known for a 'proud, model-like' walk, these steps can be hard. But I'm gonna take each day in stride, knowing that each day matters no matter how good or bad it gets. Because even the bad day's counts. Happy Leap Day. 

14 Saint's Named Valentine

It's the end of Valentine's day. And whether you had a Valentine or not, it's o.k. It's not the end of the world if you didn't have someone special to mark this Tuesday as something other then Tuesday. Because, even if there isn't a special someone beside you on a day like today, or even a holiday in general, you don't need that to know there is someone at your fingertips beside you even on normal day. The can be anybody, someone you can call at 1 am because you can't sleep, someone you can drag outside because you want to go on a walk, someone to smile with even if you want to cry. They are certainly indeed special to you, even if they are a friend or family member, or something more. And they are the one's who can push you forward when you feel like doing anything but taking that next step to where you should be. They are your faithful guides that move not in front, nor behind you, but hand in yours next to you, sharing your path and theirs. They are indeed as special as you are. They are a piece of you. And even if that position is changed by another, they still have been a part of you and are the reason you are where you are today. So who is your special person(s) whose path is entwined with yours as you walk this road? Make sure they know you care that they are beside you, not for Valentine's day, but for Tuesday, and Wednesday, and Thursday, and all the moments in between each time you are together as you are apart.
