Nails.

My nails. I'm in love with them. My grandma (Nini) and I went and got mani/pedis today and I must say my toes and fingers are adorable! I love that during summer you can pull off just about any look. Any nail color. Any hair color. I'm glad I'm still young 21 & can do all these spontaneous things. I will continue to do them until I am old and gray :)

My friend gave me this old vintage hat and I instantly fell in love with it. I got a few stares but hey, I like being different. Jesus sais be slow to anger and quick to forgive. Alway remember that

Cheers!

Baseball.

Oh the Parker family. It's baseball day today. Love it. I'm so proud of my little brother, words cannot describe. They won their first game last night, if they win tonight then we are pretty much set to go to State. BTW, State Championships are in Virginia. Oh bless me. Fingers crossed!!!!

My favorite poetry

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in
my heart) I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear
no fate (for 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 has 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 soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)

E.E Cummings

Looking back on what I said all those years ago, all the hopes and dreams I had, I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that every day won't be sunny, and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it's only in the black of night you see the stars. And those stars will lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble and fall, cause most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you wish for. Maybe you'll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination.

Coach Whitey Durham

INVICTUS

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the master of my fate:I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley

Jose Gonzalez

Oh how you speak to me! Jose is truly an amazing musician. His songs aren't just songs, they are stories. Check him out.

New shoes to Bingo

FINALLY. Some new running shoes. I owned one pair of tennis shoes and i got them Sophomore year of high school. I am now almost 22. My dad is awesome :) But just my luck, it rains all week.

Most people hate the rain, they say its depressing and dark. Well i say its everything but dark. Its new, it brings new life, cleans the soul. wow that was deep. when i saw the forecast for the week i got a big lump in my heart and was SO excited. its safe to say i have slept peacefully all week.

This man, bless his soul. i captured this in Houston traffic last night on my way to bingo. he was picking at his toes and driving at the same time. Spiffy.

oh the joys of bingo. theres nothing like a crowded room full of strangers and sweet old ladies walking around selling you bingo cards. my laughter was full last night.

every time someone would bingo, all 800 of us would just yell and scream. it was quiet the entertainment seeing as the air conditioner was broken and then the bathrooms broke. no one cared, we were having fun!

Well i leave Houston today to head back to the Piney Woods. My home. Ah i miss it.

oh so fast paced

LIFE. As of now is extremely fast paced. Honestly i couldn't tell you the date, the time, or where the heck I've been for the past 3 weeks. I quit my job today. I only was at the place for 8 days. WTH is wrong with me you ask? It wasn't what i thought it was going to be. Misleading i guess. And medically i could not physically do it. Too many things working against me and i knew deep down that it was not where God wanted me to be.

Back to the drawing board i go. Houston is lovely as always. That will never change my friends. So for now, I look onward for my next adventure in this crazy life i am living. A new job, new faces. Its all in His plan. Im leaving you with some photos of what I've been doing lately. Always keep your head up! NEVER give up on this life. It is entirely too precious.

Cheers,

My 4th of July
