When I was watching Bride Wars this weekend, there was a scene that Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson were running. Kate was exhausted and said, "Why can't we run with ipods!?" and Anne responded, "Because people who listen to ipods only do so because they can't deal with their own thoughts."
....I paused and I realized that I was like that for the last few years. If I was alone, my thoughts would begin to poison my well-being. I worried about every little thing and cried about the mistakes I have made... and then I realized...I don't do that anymore. I can have my quiet moments and enjoy the thoughts in my head, laughing at memories and smiling as I remember wonderful moments and people. I'm truly happy, and it's been awhile since I could say that and truly mean it. :) (and P.S.- I owe a lot of it to that guy right there.)

Touche! Well said. Perfect. Loves it!
Hi Jenni....some days I really think you find certain blogs on the days that you are meant to find them.....if that makes any sense at all!! Yours is just lovely.
Thank you so much for you lovely comment on my blog today....how kind of you.
And I absolutely love the Carrie Bradshaw quote above - and funnily enough I am guest-blogging on another blog today and used that very quote - it's so true.
Another quote I love - and something that you said above made me think of it - is....
"Every night I wrote a list of the things that might go wrong. Every morning I looked at the list and added a little more. Then one day my pen ran out, and life completely changed".
Have a lovely day, best wishes to you,
Simone :)
