Resolving to be present

January5

This life is interesting.  We only have, in eternities scope, but a few moments of time to be, to live, to dream, to screw up massively, to be forgiven and to forgive, to love dramatically and passively, to be lazy and to bound over tall buildings.  We are nothing without our loves big and little.  I love making coffee in the morning and my kids.  I hate having to get out of bed in the morning.  I hate going to bed a night.  I love the feeling right before I get out of bed when I am all comfy and cozy.  I love finding stupid movies that totally suck me in.  I watched Fired Up last night.  Dumb and brilliant.  Brilliant in the sense that my mind completely turned off, and it was a very guilty pleasure.  The same kind of pleasure I get from watching Gossip Girl, or reading a stupid book.

So much of my life is based around intentionality.  Frivolity makes me happy in it’s pointlessness.
