{ sad face }

what do you do when you get e-mails like this?

do I buy her a big fat brownie so the sad face will disappear or do I put on my best game face,
bring over some carrots and tell her how good they are?

carrots are kind of like brownies, right?

They're both food

They're both fall colors

and...

I give up.

I promise you it's worth 5 minutes of your time.

"sigh.... all the places, pieces, and people of the world. all the implications. and united for a few minutes in song {via headphones and soul}. I LOVE IT. mmm... worth the five minutes of your time. looove grandpa elliot and looove the cello. and even the graffiti, and the dreds, and the varying sunsets, and all the colors shapes and sizes that we are. when you see the spectrum of humanity laid out like this before you, you remember how beautiful everything can be. you forget to be so negative; you forget that things can seem impossible." AUDREY

thanks A for passing this on...lvya!

{ sweet }

I was doing a little reorganization last night and came across a folder with some papers of my

 grandmothers that I had saved after she passed. She wrote lists and quotes and thoughts and 

whatever else all over everything...a trait we both share. There was one sweet note in there, 

expressing how grateful she was to have been with my grandfather as long as she had.

sweet.

love you grandma.
