action is the antidote to despair.

i heard that yesterday. i don't know who said it. or where it hails from. but damn. i like it. i really, really like it.

..the simple things...

you forget sometimes. you get going with your thing and you get caught up in the drama and the routine and the heave and the ho and you forget...
you keep looking for that gangbusters cure... to life, to all its' ills and ailments.. to your own faults and conflicts... find god, find work, more exercise, less carbohydrates, more tea, less coffee, more you-time.. less you-time... wherein doth the answer to life lie??!!!!!
and you forget...
the power of a good glass of wine, a comfy couch, a bite of chocolate and the late-nite conversation of a good, good girlfriend. it's the balm you didn't even know you needed. and how.
