Stream of Consciousness

source

I have been spending a little time on Pinterest, building my boards and following people. Hoping that this will become another source of traffic to the blog (other than the weird people googling “fat boy in a bubble spacesuit” who somehow end up here, as well).

I found the above quote, and I have to say if you have not read The Perks of Being a Wallflower, you really should. It’s a really easy read and it’s an amazing book.

I love this quote because it sums life all up quite neatly. One of my blog buddies wrote about it earlier this week. Contradictions. A life full of contradictions. Being happy and sad at the same time. Wanting to go and stay. Wanting to grow and stay the same. And I’m still figuring it all out. We all are.

But today, as I sit here next to Casey who is snuggling with Skeeter as we watch Seinfeld in bed, I’m thinking it’s pretty darn good. The hard things are rattling around in my head. Embarking on the journey of selling our house, the year “anniversary” of our only pregnancy that ended in miscarriage, and how in the heck the guys who just bought our hot tub are going to get it out of here later today. But I’m working hard – to push away those thoughts that want to contradict my current state of contentment.

Won’t you try too? Being content in this moment? Let’s try together.
