rules for living well
by blackgoldfish
Choose quality over quantity with everything - shoes, friends, food - everything.
Look into alternative forms of medicine.
Take the time to figure out who you really are, what you like and dislike, what you need and don't.
Live within your means and respect every dollar you make.
Cultivate a passion.
Eat Real Food! Stay away from processed and buy local whenever you can.
Refuse to give in to texting.
As hard as it is, acknowledge and work on whatever keeps you from living the life of your dreams.
Refuse to play small or dim your light in order to make others comfortable.
Listen to your body.
Spend part of every day in silence, even if it's ten minutes.
Create a living space that reflects who you are.
Make visual beauty a priority.
Tell people you love them often.
Be true to yourself at all costs.

We have a birthday tradition in our family we’ve been doing since we were kids. We go around the dinner table and each person takes a letter of the alphabet, and we say something nice about the birthday girl/boy. A is for Artistic! B is for the Beautiful! We go around and around the table until we get to Z
and it's all blessings.

Hearing: Norah Jones, The Nearness of You, and the tappity tap of small-scale furniture being re-positioned in it's wooden doll house
Smelling: rosemary bread in the oven
Touching: chopping freshly rinsed basil for pesto penne alfredo
Seeing: a yellow no. two pencil with a fat nub eraser scratching out spelling words on double-ruled paper
Tasting: iced ceylon tea
four
by blackgoldfish
Today, my baby, you turn four. When did this happen? Was it not just yesterday that I had to put you inside my coat to keep you warm? Now look at you! Almost as tall as your sister with just as much spunk. Happy Birthday my punkin.
What four is looking like so far:
You pronounce your Rs as if you lived in Boston your whole life- A feather is a featheh.
You sing from dawn to dusk- singsong monologues of your life.
You eat a peanut butter sandwich every single day.
You wake up hungry and must immediately eat a granola bar or your world collapses.
You love coffee
Your favorite color is blue
You swing so high that I have to hold in my own concern because I see how much you need to do it.
When you get mad, I suggest people step away, as you get a bit ferocious.
You will brush my hair four an hour straight, and therefore I'll not ever cut it.
You like to get your back lightly scratched, just like Mama.
Happy Birthday, my sweet girl. Every day with you is a treasure and a surprise. I love you.
