There Were Things I Don't Remember

From time to time, i find myself remembering things I would rather forget, and forgetting things I would like to remember. I realized there are so many things in this life that I LOVE... so many, in fact, that I often get so distracted I forget how much I love them.

Like this woman:








Amy has starred in 2 TV shows, guest starred on many others, was in a Dolly Parton music video, a bunch of movies, written 2 books, co-written a book with Stephen Colbert& Paul Dinello, and many plays with her brother (who i ALSO adore...David Sedaris), & runs a cupcake/cheese ball business out of her own kitchen. Aside from all of her accomplishments she has made up husbands, loves bunnies, and has demonstrated on tv how to properly clean your lady parts. All in all I just just feel she is an amazingly awesome human being. I want to be her when i grow up.









I randomly came across an interview with Amy today, and it just reminded me of how much I love her. How many other things was I forgetting I loved?

Funny that you ask.

It started to rain very soon after arriving home. When I went outside, to suck in the 'fresh air' and some nicotine...

I saw one of these:

Sad to say, I had almost forgotten rainbows even existed in real life. CRAZY! right?

In just one day... a matter of hours really, I was reminded of 2 things that I had forgotten that I love.



Not taking things for granted is huge. Surrounding yourself with people/things that you love is HUGE.


Learning to let go of things that only keep you from remembering where the LOVE is, well that's the Hugest. Its something I struggle with constantly, and will continue to do. But there is beauty in that struggle.

So go forth and rejoice in the things that you love, and get rid of all the crap that is taking it's place in the pockets of your mind.

Remember Where the Love Was Found

I have taken the pledge to go the entire day without shoes, to raise awareness about how much a simple pair of shoes can affect a child's life. Will you walk with me?
