'25' list #2

today is sunday. one of my favorite things to do on sunday is read the postsecret website.
and i save the ones i love, the ones that make me laugh, or the ones that i identify with.

so today's list of 25 is...

25 of my favorite postsecrets that i've saved through the years (in no particular order)....



isn't this so true? sometimes, just a little love works


i love the picture that goes with this one...








you'll see a couple about being open/vulnerable...this is really hard for me, so i identify with these secrets....and also, as i was reminded last night (and many other times)....to have a real, authentic relationship with others, you have to be willing to be open, honest, and vulnerable...


you all are...every single one of you.






there will also be several about love....i'm a romantic at heart, i guess...
or maybe it's that i'm a girl :)




isn't this true of some people? when you're with them, you just feel at home.








the little print at the bottom is someone who responded to this secret.
it says, "maybe you're just a part of it." that's why i love this secret.


yes. every single time.
but it doesn't necessarily have to be a door...
helping you with your coat, walking so you are safer,
pulling out chairs...it's the chivalry thing. every single time.
















nothing like a great sister and good girlfriends


this is why i do what i do...


it made me laugh :)


the important things in life...



there you have it. some of my most favorite postsecrets.
if you noticed, there were more than 25. i couldn't narrow it down :)



*edited on monday to add:
and as i'm looking back over these favorite secrets of mine, i realize that some of them are directly tied to people and events in my life -- either they reminded me of a person, i identified with the secret or had the same thing happen to me, or i feel the way the secret says about people in my life. this is probably why i like them so much.
and this is the reason i l-o-v-e postsecret so much. we're all so different, yet so very similar...and connected in so many ways. more than i think we realize.

happy new year! and....a quarter of a century

happy new year, my friends! i hope you celebrated in a fun way and were with people you love :) i was able to see some friends i never get to see new year's eve...and then was back at my parents' house by around 10:15...and was in bed by 11:30.... i did not stay awake to welcome in 2010, but i'm ok with that :) in other news, i'll be a quarter of a century old in a week. 25... i'm not one to freak out about my age (at least not yet) but 25 is a good year, i think. and in honor of my turning 25, i've decided to make lists of 25. because it'll be fun, and who doesn't love a good list? and because i spent yesterday traveling, the first list is a travel list, but is by no means complete or comprehensive....there's no way i could make a full list of everywhere i've been or would like to go.... so, enjoy!! 25 places i've traveled or would like to travel (red = where i've been, blue = where i'd like to go) 1. new orleans,...

motivation!

i think you should know that as i was typing the title to this post, i was singing it to a made up tune in my head... i have two papers due next week. one massive one and one that won't be so difficult. this means however, that i have less than a week to finish both of them and that means that i cannot spend any time doing anything other than work, school, or writing/researching. but. i've developed this "fall break is almost here, i don't want to do anything important right now" mentality. which is curious since i'll be doing school stuff all during fall break simply to catch up and then get ahead a little. so tonight, as i am about to get started on my work, i made a "motivation sheet!" that i can look at when i want to give up: using that verse might be a bit of a stretch, since i doubt the writer was thinking about writing 20 pg papers when he said it, but it seemed to fit. it includes baking and crafting and spending time with people, of cours...

pigeon love

yesterday, i was walking to my car and heard a pigeon. this is not especially unusual because there are pigeons all over the place, their presence just outside my house encouraged by the bird feeder hanging from one of the trees. however, this pigeon caught my attention because it was loud, close and sounded strange. i looked down and saw this pigeon essentially pacing back and forth by the wheels of a car.... where his pigeon friend had been the wheel's unfortunate victim and was no longer with us.  y'all... the pigeon was mourning the loss of his friend. it was so sad and sweet and touching.  i honestly wish i had had a camera to capture the moment. but it got me thinking. about friends, family, community, etc. being missed. don't we all want to be missed and mourned like the poor pigeon was? the kind of people that make the world, our communities, our families, and our friendships better because we are a part of them? and isn't that wh...
