Don't be a cow

As I'm sitting here drinking my cup of coffee, I realize that it is one of those rare instances where it is the perfect cup. The right amount of milk to sugar ratio. Perfect temperature.  The perfect cup. And I was thinking today is going to be a great day. Celebrate the little things.

Have a great day as well!

Happy Sunday!

Umm. How perfect is this? It matches my blog design amazingly that I just had to share. Happy Sunday!

Quotable

Something about this quote moves me. I love it. Embrace who you are and whatever situation you are thrown into at the time. Not every moment is perfect. How you handle it and embrace it is what matters. Even if embracing it means telling that mess to fuck off, or potentially waiting for it to pass, at least you are acknowledging it.  There is a mess usually because it means something in your life is worth trying for, worth fighting for, worth contemplating over.

Go. Embrace.

Word to the Wise...

I'm a little late for today. Guess that is part of having a new job...

Today's prompt asks what my favourite quote is and well, it's this one:

Just kidding, although it is pretty great. 

I was searching around pinterest trying to find one, and I think the one that struck a chord with me the most is this one:

Just do what makes you happy, something that I need to work on. 

Wake Up Love

wake up, love

undress yourself from my skin

put on the sun and let our dreaming rest

come watch the world rise

wake up, love

and be unbalance on the edge with me

of our sagging, remembering bed

come slip on your shoes

wake up, love

and help me sort this tangle of belongings

our thoughts half in day, half still in night

come kiss me full of sustenance

wake up, love

and meet me at the opened door

before the scent of you leaves my hands and hair

come walk with me into this life

-Tobin James Mueller

Quote of The Day

Find Your Own Way

“I think that you find your own way. You have your own rules. You have your own understanding of yourself, and that’s what you’re going to count on. In the end, it’s what feels right to you. Not what your mother told you. Not what some actress told you. Not what anybody else told you but the still, small voice.” ~Meryl Streep



 

A thought for a Sunday

Live with intention.

Walk to the edge.

Listen hard.

Practice wellness.

Play with abandon.

Laugh.

Choose with no regret.

Continue to learn.

Appriciate your friends.

Do what you love.

Live as if this is all there is.

- Mary Ann Radmachen

The Wonderful Jane Goodall

I love Jane Goodall. She is always the name I give when asked who you would like to meet/have dinner with. I mean, she is why I went into primatology. Who knew it would be so friggen hard to pursue? Anyways I just felt like sharing some of my favorite quotes of hers as I do some reflecting on what it is I actually want to do with my life. Enjoy!

"The least I can do is speak for those who have no voice"

"You may not believe in evolution, and that is alright, how we humans came to be the way we are is far less important than how we should act now to get out of the mess we have made for ourselves"

"Anyone who tries to improve the lives of animals invariably comes in for criticism from those who believe such efforts are misplaced in a world of suffering humanity"

"In what terms should we think of these beings, nonhuman yet possessing so very many human-like characteristics? How should we treat them? Surely we should treat them with the same consideration and kindness we show to other humans and as we recognize human rights, so too should we recognize the rights of great apes"
