Weekend Learning's

Just love, hold hands, touch, sniff nice things. 

When you sit back down at your desk on Monday morning and feel relief you know you've had a bit of an odd weekend. From Friday to Monday I really didn't imagine I'd have this feeling. I normally feel quite depressed to be back at work. I guess too much anticipation is a bad thing! Remind me never to do that again, *wink! This is what I learned; 

• Friday migraines are no joke, no fun and have quite a domino affect on the rest of the weekend, bother.
• Buying a big leather couch is quite epic. My first big buy for my cottage is officially paid for in full and is on the delivery truck on its way to Coco's Cottage, hells bells I am excited… more so that I don't have to visit @home to go and sit on the sister couch to just remind myself that I have bought it. Yay!
• "Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways." - Psalm 119:37 
• I am blessed to have beautiful friends. Spending time with them is both rare and precious to me. 
• 'Vegetables' a book by James Peterson made for a lovely Birthday gift. You know a gift is a good gift when you want to keep it for yourself. 
• "I'll uncross your arms and then I will become them. I'll hold you instead." - Tyler Knott Gregson.
• Admire without jealously, praise without flattery, follow without imitating, and lead without manipulating. 
• I can timidly say I have tried all three Frozen Yoghurt places in Jozi. These are; Wakaberry, Smooch and on Sunday I finally completed the trio with Filo. I must say Smooch is my favourite. Wakaberry is nice but a little bland and on the boring flavour side and Filo is ridiculously sweet and too runny. Smooch, you get Coco's kisses, especially your peanut and salted caramel mix, divine! 
• "Don’t save things for a special occasion, everyday of your life is a special occasion!" - Thomas S Monson
• I love my eyes when you look into them. I love my name when you say it. I love my heart when you touch it. I love my life when you are in it.

Keep warm and cozy loves, there's a cold front comin'!

xoxo

PS. If beauty were inches you'd go on for miles.

Always. Keep smiling, keep kissing.

Weekend Learning's

Winter is coming, lets stay wild my little feathers.

This weekend wasn't ideal. A thorn in the paw, a splinter in you hand. I am glad it is over. Although it was trying, much was achieved, this is what I learned;

• "Thoughts could leave deeper scarring that almost anything else." - J.K Rowling. I am a 'number 5'. This means I am very much 'in my head'. It is probably the cause of a lot of my migraines too (so they say). My mind is always busy… buzzing… bustling… this quote... I guess my mind is my own worst enemy.
• "Twinkle lights are oddly soothing maybe we should keep the Christmas tree up all year" - Private Practice. I agree. There is something mesmerizing about them that I love. Maybe it's because it's my favourite time of year or the fact that I love shiny twinkly things but I too want fairy lights 12 months a year too sooth my heavy eyes.
• Do small things with great love. I think I've lived by this my whole life, I just never put it into words. Everything I do with love.
• Vida's Chai Latte's are the best. They're like a milky cinnamon bun in a cup… without the calories. Delish!
• "And that’s the thing about people who mean everything they say. They thing everyone else does too." - K. Hosseini
• I like drinking coffee in the park… the caffeine kick is great for if you need to run away from scary beast chemical dogs! AAHH!
• I love the word 'savant'.
• Buddah Ta's candyfloss mojito is still such fun and totally yummy! No matter how old I get I love candy. Wink.
• "All I need" by Radiohead, I forgot how much I love this song. It is from the album "In Rainbows" - so fitting because it is so colourful here in my life now with you.
• I have an old friend in a scary place at the moment. Physically this time not mentally. Visiting him was trying… it was great to have my two pillars of strength there with me, with out them I think I would have stopped breathing, or worse. Thank you.
• "And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." - Matthew 28:20

I hope you have a week full of green tea and sweet grapes my little gerbils!

Xoxo

PS. "And at once I knew, I was not magnificent." - Bon Iver.

Who doesn't love a skeleton... you? Get off my blog ^_^ joke!

Weekend Learning's - Holiday Vibes

Coco, light, love, sun, flowers, sunny skies, smiles, a perfect start to 2013!

I've never had a holiday where I've just let go and felt like I could do what I want when I want without a care in the world. Where I could just one day do nothing and one day do everything and still feel like both days were equally important as each other. I've also never had a holiday when I have been glued to someone so tightly that the minute our hands leave one-anothers' it felt as thought there was a cold and empty gap gaping in my palm. This is the kind of holiday I have been looking for all along and never knew it until now. This is not a Weekend Learning's, no no. This is a Holiday Learning's from December to January, 2012 to 2013, this is what I learned,

• We have become inseparable and I am inlove with this fact.
• The word “poecilonym” is actually the synonym to the word “synonym".
• “Your lips are like wine, and I want to get drunk.” - William Shakespeare.
• My life. My choices. My problems. My mistakes. My lessons. Not your business. Mind your own problems before you talk about mine.
• “Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them.” - A.A. Milne.
• When a guy can handle your flaws, love you on your moody days, and say you're beautiful in your sweatpants & PJs, he's worth loving.
• Once the game is over, the king & the pawn go back in the same box. -Italian Proverb.
• Cafuné (v.) running your fingers through your lover's hair. I LOVE this!
• Don't mess with someone else's relationship just because you can't get one.
• Whatever is true, whatever is noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy - think of such things. -Phil 4:8.
• You can't make footprints on the sands of time by sitting on your butt... and who wants to make buttprints?
• And then my fair friends, last but not least a quote from my favourite poet, Tyler Knott  “I will thank the tides, for washing up my old soul, on your perfect shore.”  And oh so perfect it is. 

 I hope your year started as blissfully as mine did, happy 2013 angel dust.

xoxo           

PS. I love you, not only for what you are but for what I am when I am with you.

Something to live by, a life quote for you and Coco.
