Pros & cons

Today's cons:

Still not working/cooking
Can't communicate with anyone
Still an insane amount of snow
Having anxiety/ moments of panic


Today's pros:

Went to the beach and collected sea shells
Knowing I start work/cooking tomorrow (it's been 6 weeks since I've cooked)
Figured out how to watch American news/greys anatomy on my iPad
Found a local bar that serves cheap beer
Ate a pack of haribo sour strawberry spaghetti
Talked to dad on Skype for 45 minutes
Messaged and caught up with Ashleigh and Estelle (friend I met in Venice)
Did laundry (technically yesterday, but it's a great feeling, still even today)
Got hot water in the shower


I'd say the pros outweigh the cons. I also say that I'll be writing more frequently in this blog due to new adventures and difficulties. Stay tuned ...


"I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking
Loving might be a mistake, but it's worth making
Don't let some Hellbent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin' out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance"



Shut up, I like this song. =P

  2. Carrie Underwood was quite prescient at 14 years old...no doubt about it.

    I find your written introspection so incredibly well articulated that it almost makes me feel, like for a brief moment, that I'm in your shoes. Fat chance, but I absolutely love your style Ms. Ash.

    Bring it on!!!!!

    Love this blog!!!!!!!

  3. Correction...Lee Ann Womack actually wrote it. But you probably knew that. I, of course, had to look it up.
