More Love
February 14, 2013 § 8 Comments
With so much not to love (there’s a lot if we choose to look for it), let’s focus for a moment on all that there is to heart, squeeze, and kiss.
1. The number one search on my site today (as it is on many days) is the Lululemon Skinny Will Pant. Yes, I love those functional and flattering pants. Yes, go buy them. Yes, Yes, Yes!
2. A dinner of chicken dipped and rolled in egg, whole wheat flour and whole wheat bread crumbs, lightly fried in olive oil and finished off in the oven. Served over arugula with sliced tomatoes and avocado. Heaven on a plate.
3. Wearing pink and red together and not feeling silly about it, or wearing a lot of pink (or red) loudly and proudly. Isn’t Valentine’s day fun?
4. Running into an old friend at Target who I miss seeing every day at pre-school pick-up, but whom I delighted in seeing this afternoon. What aisle were we in? I have absolutely no idea.
5. Hearing from the oldest of old friends that she read the Wanderlust piece and is seriously considering it. Like. She’s. Seriously. Considering it.
I might cry this makes me so happy.
6. I wrote a piece today that began from a dream about a stack of papers I watched go wishwishwishwishwishwishwish out of a window. The piece morphed into a book review of Girl Interrupted, but ended with the Dixie Chicks singing More Love.
And this is the reason I love to blog … for the answers that come … some that I share and some I don’t.
It took all day, but there it is!
MORE LOVE!

Was it obvious to you? Do you tend to see the love or does the miserable usually shade the happy?
That’s what it’s all about… the simple lovely things.
I’ve been under such stress with the divorce. I think I need to tune out the haters and tune in the lovers! It certainly makes life a lot easier when the people you surround yourself with really want to see you succeed.
And precisely the dame reason I love to blog too. And I love to meet up with friends in Target. And wear read loudly. Happy Valentine’s day!

Would you believe I almost emailed you to see if I could get you anything while I was there
! Really!
BTW! I read Love Revisited this morning and I remember reading it the first time and falling in love with your writing. The nurse and the staple and the finger. Oh my gosh… put a smile on my face again. Happy Valentine’s Day! X
Love this! So important to remember and appreciate all of the little moments.

My long lost Lora… have we not connected since the wedding?! Isn’t life busy! You are right… it is the little things. Too often my cup is soooo half empty. Off to read Happy Day of Love!
I would say that for a good chunk of my life, I let the miserable shade the happy. But in the last year or so, I’ve become so very tired of it. Now, I would so much rather focus on the positive and happy things than the things that I don’t have the power to change. And yes, this is the reason that I blog too. xox

Being positive is important, that being said, I’ve been in a very good mood for two days and find myself awake at midnight soooooo sick. It’s fine, though… if I’m really to be positive, it’s technically my turn to be sick. But ooooooh
pout.
Off to read how to style the the kids for spring, which is sure to make me smile again ..
