love, angella

big things

this monday (that is almost over). i am/was inspired by the little things. remembering what made you special. i love you and miss you. on a lighter note, colors combinations. the smile on your face. the nice man that gave me a quarter for my two dimes and a nickel. food in the fridge. caring friends. hearing funny stories. taking a shower. watching a new movie. listening to a new album. accepting things and moving forward (or at least trying).

i hope you enjoyed your monday.

Photos- If you want credit, please let me know! I really need to get better at writing and remember sources.

I know a story

Monday

A little date with a friend.

Tuesday

Another little date with a friend.

Wednesday

AND another date with a friend and then later that night more friends.

Thursday

Spent almost two hours reading in borders, one of my favorite spots to just relax and think and of course read a little. It was so cold but I think I still managed to have a wonderful day. Lost in so many thoughts. I was then greeted by the most heartwarming smile, it was kind of nice and refreshing. A cup of coffee. A walk around the city of Chicago. It was a good day.

Welcome, June! Last month I had these feelings. I just want to say the month of May came and passed faster than the month of April. When I felt lonely I did have the month of May.. Oh but the month of June. The month of June looks promising, just wait and see!

Thursday

Well, well, well.. Hello today! The story I wanted to share here, is just something I wanted to point out. I feel behind. I am behind. But, I haven't been more excited.

“Time is amazingly forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire today. Success depends on using it wisely- by planning and setting priorities.

-Dennis Waitley

I haven't done an inspiration message post in forever. I was thinking about my blog the other day (actually, I think about my blog all day.. everyday). This blog has been mostly about inspiration. Although, in my mind it's so much more. I think time will only tell where this blog will go, I'm not trying to rush to make this a masterpiece in one day or even in a year. It's going to take time. So the wonderful book goes on to say, how wonderful to realize that today is “ours” – no matter what yesterday held. When we greet each morning with that willingness to use the day wisely, plan, and set priorities, we achieve our full potential. Write down three things that will make this day matter, make today count.

Take a moment today to revisit your dreams and aspirations. Don't let them out of your sight. Make every day count.

Priority this month: Blog every single day. Yes. I am going to do it. AND that is why I wanted to catch you up on some wasted days and some not so wasted days because hello June! You're about to get really interesting.

I'm on my way

Inspire me, Monday.

flowers always makes me smile.

i'm on my way.

hanging in there.

life at the moment

whoa. where does the time go? i always have this feeling at the end of each month. what did i do and what goals did i reach, if any. at the end of april i didn't have that feeling though. i didn't reflect at all. i didn't get inspired and filled with happiness for a new month. for a fresh start. there was/is nothing. it's now may 2nd and i'm left with a feeling that i've really never experienced before, maybe something good will come from this month? since my expectations are low. OR maybe this kind of thinking will scare me into accomplishing something. i'm hopeful.

a safe place

picking up where i left off. lately, i've been inspired by

bilbo from the hobbit

Dear Monday,

It's been so long. The past few weeks have been a bit rough. I want you to know, you make my Monday better. Thank you.

Angella

words for inspiration!

"It is cheerful to God when you rejoice or laugh from the bottom of your heart."

"No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence."

"The quality, not the longevity, of one's life is what is important."

"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant."

"Be The Peace You Wish To See In The World!"

"Without love, there is no reason to know anyone, for love will in the end connect us to our neighbors, our children and our hearts."

"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."

"We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope."

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that"."

"Only in the darkness can you see the stars."

"There is no gain without struggle."


words once said by Martin Luther King Jr.

OH HAPPY DAY.
