An Appropriate Quote For The Present

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

29 days left of 29......

I can only say this once in a life time. I have 29 days left in my twenties. God. Where did the time go? I want to crawl in the portal of yesterday and go back to the time when it was cool to wear neon blue, jam to NKOTB and faint at the thought of Leonardo DeCaprio. Unfortunately, there is no such thing so I am forced to go forward into this next chapter. I hear that TH&@Y is the new 20.... Good god I hope so.

... in a nutshell....

"NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL INFERIOR BUT YOURSELF"

I refuse to let myself think otherwise any longer.

Probably the Most Beautiful Piece I Have Heard To Date

Takes my breath away every time.

When The 3 Second Rule Cannot Apply...

You know karma is at it's best when you go to take your lemon raspberry loaf out of the starbucks paper bag and the icing falls onto the floor.

I think I'm having an FML moment.

Starbucks Epic Fail

I think I'm addicted....I cannot not do Starbucks.

Decisions

They can be unequivocally simple.Insuperably difficult. The can have a diminutive impact or eminent consequences. Regardless, in life, we have to make them and sometimes- it sucks.

Right now, I am faced with many of each sort. Getting to the end would be most desirable but I firmly believe that it is the road along the way that molds people into who they are- whom they become.I can choose to constantly fear what is around the corner or I can embrace and learn from it.

Change is Inevitable

Slow Death by Rubber Duck

Read it.

Wow- This needs to happen everyday!

5 year stint!

Holy Crap! 5 years has gone by- I realized I had forgotten about my blog when I went to sign in under a different user name.

I think perhaps it's time to jump start this again.

Yes.

But, perhaps the "ideal of becca land" needs a little switch-a-roo to something a little less juvenile... I am after all getting old :P

R

Rut

I'm stuck in a rut- I deplore it. I haven't a clue as to why I am even in one. I believe perhaps it is my job (the lack of motivation I confront everyday ) or perhaps, it is failure of expectations that others have not met (for instance, Emma's father). Whatever it is, I wish to be out of it. So I will say, for now, I am now coming out of my rut. There. Done.

Happy 2nd birthday!

It was Emma's second birthday on the 11th. I realize how fast things go every year. She has indeed reached the terrible two's where she refuses to pee on the potty, not eat her veggies and climb all over the furniture- yet, I am enjoying every second of it because I know that her third will come even sooner than the second.
I have to remind myself to book some botox soon- at this rate anyhow

This is how cool my job is- not only do I get to teach kids gym, but I also get to be one as well!

True Friends

I have met people over the last few months that have blown my mind. They are really incredible people. Some are completly nuts and I think they just may have lost there marbles, some are the sweetest and kindest of people imaginable and some just have the word FUN stapled to there forheads. Through this past school year I have been in awe because people have been so supportive and encouraging- I have been shown what real frienships mean and stand for. Whether it be spending a evening playing poker and having good laughs, trying to move a over weight piano and have things not go according to plan, getting picked on at work, getting taught spanish even if I am indeed hopeless at it, having a shoulder to cry on or just being able to vent to a person- all these things and more have meant more to me- it is nice to beable to trust such a wide circle of people and know that they will indeed be a friend.
