my life: a bakergrrrrl's story

I wish I could look at the world through rose-colored glasses like many do. I have prayed that the glass I drink from is half full. And wouldn’t it be great if I didn’t have the desire to pluck the ace of spades from the house of cards? But that’s my reality… I will always push the boundaries. I will always question my purpose. I may be skeptical but at least I do it with a smile and a sense of humor about myself.

has this friend shipped?

9th December 10

A recent conversation got me to thinking about those friendships that have been lost along the way. As difficult as it was to understand why things had happened, i have to believe that God had a bigger plan in mind. I still do. I don’t think that it’s good to struggle with a friendship in which you don’t get anything in return. A friend is someone who is there to lift you up when you are down. They should never be the one pulling you down.

I’ve mourned the loss of many friendships, but my life is more enriched without them present. At some point you have to move on. Moving on doesn’t mean that you forget them, but it’s time to brush the sad feelings aside.

I must also remember the people who are there for me no matter what. They make this ride worthwhile.

Loving when it’s not always beneficial or when it’s the last thing you want to do. Do things without expectation. Do it out of love.

excerpt from my story

17th March 10

He brushed the hair from my eyes. Never breaking from my gaze, he stepped closer to me.

I sighed.

Placing his hand in mine, he whispered, “close your eyes.”

His touch awakened me.

"love is a choice
we choose to love
life is about love
love is based on acceptance"

my thoughts

it’s the little things

14th March 10

Life is so incredible… i’m finding the blessings in the little things. I’ve been weighed down with schoolwork lately and the bf has been so understanding. he just goes with the flow and roots me on when i’m feeling down and out. last night he reminded me just how much i enjoy having him in my life. I was running late for our dinner and a movie date (i didn’t think it was such a big deal to be running late since we were just staying in for the night). I got the call to check up on me and he was a bit terse that i hadn’t left my place yet. whoopsie. i finally get to his house and he wanted to surprise me with a home cooked meal. he melted my heart in that one moment… the boy doesn’t really cook but he attempted to make a multiple course meal. the soup was hot and in bowls on the table. i was informed that i missed out on the appetizer (he ate it) because i took too long. the main entree was a rack of lamb with grilled carrots. it was the BEST MEAL i have EVER had even though we had to order out for pizza.

we had to order out because the lamb didn’t cook evenly and so part of it wasn’t hot. but i have never in my life had someone cook a meal for me with such love and care since my mom used to do it. it was the sweetest thing that i could walk in to. last night for the first time in a very long time, i felt loved. <3

can’t stop smiling…

You´re better then the best
I´m lucky just to linger in your life
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow that´s right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me
Lets me know that it´s ok yeah it´s ok
And the moments where my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile

Even when you´re gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed sing like bird
Dizzy in my head spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile

Don´t know how I lived without you
Cuz everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed sing like bird
Dizzy in my head spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile
Ohh you make me smile
