ten things.

Filed under: random — meg @ 12:25 pm
  1. I love receiving emails a little more than I should, but I don’t send enough of them.
  2. I should think before I speak about 100% more of the time.
  3. I’m trying to make the worst case scenario unwelcome in my thoughts.
  4. Grace is a tough, tough thing to maintain over time. About as difficult as respect.
  5. Beauty is never fleeting in memory.
  6. Falling in love is a profound act of optimism.
  7. It’s not shameful to express sentiments that are not returned.
  8. I don’t have a definition for failure anymore.
  9. I’d still always rather hold a baby than not.
  10. I’ve started avoiding political blogs because the rhetoric has become more despair than fire. And while that makes sense on a million levels, I don’t believe hope is something we’re ever meant to concede. Not when people in the depths of hell are buoying themselves up with less.

    I’m right there with you on #2.

    As far as #10, I stay away from them mostly because I get enough politics at work and from the tube.

    Great site btw, clean.

    great observations. i would like to subscribe to numbers 2&3 please, i totally give up on 4, i have to re-define on #8 almost hourly it seems (it’s apparently a broad and fluid thing for me) and the last two sentences in #10 i am copying down and carrying with me all day. Cause they are so true.

    I love these, Meg. You are a well-thought-out person. #4 Hits a nail on the head for me.

  4. Ashley Says:

    Very eloquently put, Meg.

    This is why I love reading what you write. You make me think. Number four is completely stuck in my head now.

  6. Sandy Says:

    I’m with mark about the last two lines of #10. Consider yourself quoted and linked to.
