hello february

and welcome to 2011. january was ok, not quite the start i wanted for this year, but why not make every month a new start to the year.
someone recently said to me these words that really actually make a lot of sense, don't compare your insides to somebody else's outsides. i've heard this before, but sometimes it helps to hear things a second, or even third time. it can often be way too easy to think this way, especially in this town, but it is absolutely not fair to your insides. instead of getting caught up in what everyone else is doing, we must try and remain true to ourselves, and what is important in our own lives. energy towards the connections we make with others should take precedence over energy that goes into any negative thoughts about what or who those 'others' are.

my unexpected and annoying trip to the dentist got me to thinking about this. i suppose it was because it was the very last place i wanted to be, and it was the very exact place i needed to be for myself.


with that being said, february i embrace you and welcome whatever it is that comes my way this month.
