I carry your heart with me

I carry it in my heart

I am never without it

Anywhere I do you go , my darling

I fear not fate

fo 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 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 the mind can hide

and it is the wonder that is keeping

the stars apart

I carry your heart

I carry it in my heart

-E.E. Cummings

My littlest brother is getting married today.  He is marrying the sweetest little thing ever…her name is Kristin.  Kristin asked me to read the E.E. Cummings poem at their wedding.  I hope I can read it perfectly!  My daughter is the Flower Girl and I’ve taken photos of her adorable curls.  I’ll be sure to post some photos later tonight/tomorrow after the wedding.  I’m running out the door right now.  Relay for Life is tonight and I’ll be walking from 12 midnight until 2 am. Have a wonderful day!

It happens. Wouldn’t life be nice if we all lived a little every day?

I was emailed this quote today…I love it:

“If the future road looks ominous or unpromising, and the roads back uninviting, then we need to rather our resolve and, carrying only the necessary baggage, step off that road into another direction.”

–Maya Angelou

Perfect, right? I absolutely love Maya Angelou, she is such an inspiring and amazing woman. You can always count on a good quote from her!

Makes me feel like I need to make some changes. “Step off in another direction”…I’ve been over-extending myself…or maybe I just need to change my “attitude” about all that I have (and want) to accomplish. It seems that I am running in circles lately…I do so like to stress myself out.

In reality I really do have such a blessed life. I’m taking a deep breath as I type this blog entry….ahhhhh….much better.

If you’ve been reading my blog you know that I love “little details”…I’ve even made a side bar page dedicated to them. I thought I’d post some more details tonight…they’re all from the Vintage Sweetheart book I posted a couple of days ago.

I am still working on getting all of my old photos back up from being “hacked”….if the photos you’re looking for aren’t working…try back a little later. I promise I’ll get them all back up for you!

Oh…and pat yourself on the back, you and I made it through “hump day” (sigh). It’s smooth sailing into the weekend from here on out!

….one last thing before you go………. …….. ….. . . . . BLOG CANDY!

Love is all that matters

Love is everything

It’s the sharing of songs and of silences

and the holding of memories only the heart can see

In nothing are we as rich as in our memories of love

For they are ours alone and tell our story

Love’s music may be different to each of us,

But oh, how beautiful the dance
