seeing the world through rose colored glasses.

be soft. 
don't let the world
make you hard.
don't let the pain
make you hate.
don't let the bitterness
steal the sweetness.
take pride 
that even though
the rest of the world
may disagree
you 
still 
believe 
it to 
be a 
beautiful 
place. 

i've decided my favorite thing to do is clean stalls.

its therapeutic. 

before you decide i'm certifiably insane, let me explain. 

kathy can second this :)

there are very few places that we can just think without having to focus on anyone or anything.

i can't do it at school.

i can't do it while i do my homework. 

i can't do it when i go run, because i'm trying too hard to keep my butt going to let my mind wander.

some can do it while they drive, but i tend to hit things when i'm lost in my stream of consciousness. 

the best thing for me to do is to offer to clean the kids stalls and just move from 

one end of the barn to the other. 

i put my earphones in and listen to my cleaning playlist,

and just let my mind wander. 

sometimes i find myself solving problems without trying,

making changes without noticing, 

and adjusting my life without having to. 

there comes a time in life

when you have to let go

of the pointless drama

&the people who create it

&surround yourself with

people who make you laugh

so hard

you forget 

the

bad

and

focus

solely on the good.

after all, 

life's too short

to be

anything

but 

happy.
