You’re living. Keep that up.

You’re living.
Keep that up.
Wait up for the moon sometimes or get up early to see a sunrise, just because you can.
Jump in the lake. Run, skip.
The things you need to feel alive are free and all around, my friend.
You just have to see them.
Let in opportunity and say yes to the invitations that scare you a little, in a good way.
Say no to some of the things you force yourself to do, knowing they rinse you of your peace.
Life was never supposed to be a waiting room, it was supposed to be a hillside,
with paths leading in every direction and mountains as far as the eye can see,
hiding adventures and new friends behind them.
Don’t let yourself get to the end of this ride without having stopped to smell those beautiful roses.
That’s the only thing you need to fear in this life.
Everything else is all part of it.
It’s all just a messy, complicated, beautiful, and terrifying part of it.
Chin up, throw your arms wide open.
and let it be so.

— Donna Ashworth, “No Waiting Room”

Life was never supposed to be a waiting room, it was supposed to be a hillside,

To put it in a nutshell.

It certainly does .....

I miss the 32 different rose bushes i planted in my last California home. It was something I could grow besides weeds and ugly bushes. Can't grow roses here in Wisconsin worth a hoot.
