"Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.” -Gilda Radner

Hiya guys!

Ever find yourself with the desperate desire to say something but absolutely nothing to say? I'll admit it's a rare occurrence for me. I'm a talker and typically have no trouble coming up with a crushing reply on demand. But for the first time in my blogging career (career???) I have find myself totally without inspiration. This is a new feeling for me, guys. I'm used to having so much to say I'm afraid of forgetting a terrific post and it being lost forever in the recesses of my mind (it's a scary place, people). You don't know how many innocent little posts end up there never to be hear of again. 

Anyway...

Let's talk about the new year. Eight days in and only one earth-shattering even so far. 

Hmmm.... 

Maybe this year won't be quite as exciting as I anticipated. Most of my year so far has been a lot of this: 
Yeah. Studying. (i do that sometimes) Truth be known, I do enjoy it (it's bordering on a love). Especially when it's accompanied with popcorn and some Jersey Boys

But! Let's get back to the earth shattering event. 

Guys...I can die happy now. 

MATTHEW AND MARY ARE MARRIED!
(it's an all caps kinda occasion)

Yes, my lovelies.  It's real. It's true. They've tied the knot. It's final. They're adorable. I'm happy. I'm sleeping again at night and having lovely dream. 
The wedding was fabulous. I survived only with the help of coffee, chocolate and tissues. After a year of waiting and counting down the months, days, hours, minutes the moment arrived and my sisters and I clung to each other and consumed calories that I had to run off the next day and generally were total females and loved every blessed second of it.
I'm alright now. That's enough Downton love for one post. 

(you guys can thank me later)

Can I just say for a moment how much I love life? 

(not that i'm asking permission because I'm going to tell you anyway) 

There is so much excitement, always something to look forward to. It's not always easy but that's the beauty of it. How boring would the world be if things were always smooth sailing? It's the bumps and waves, the excitement and disappointments, the tears and the laughter. They all work together and make up this beautiful thing. This year, let's learn to love life. 

So tell me...why do you love life?
Cheers,
n.

  1. Lovely post, Nana. :)

    I love life because it continues to show me the goodness of God and because of the wonderful family and friends who are on this grand adventure with me. I'm right with you though, the highs and lows certainly make one fantastic journey and it's one to enjoy and to always look forward to what is coming next.

    On Matthew and Mary, I am tremendously happy. :D

    On your study pictures, that looks like my life lately too. :P (Where did you get your adorable iPod case?)

    Love you!

  2. The first week or so in January always seem to be like this: a little dreary, quiet, and not-much-going-on-but-reading. ;)
    I'm guessing the marriage of two certain characters in a certain BBC television drama is that one earth-shattering event of which you speak. ;D If I'm wrong, tell me now. :)

    So. Guess who's gonna buy season one of DA on iTunes sometime soon?! *points to self* Just as soon as I can spare some money for an iTunes gift card. Can you tell I'm kinda excited? :)

    Hugs,

    1. Girl after my own heart :) Of course you can't but it does seem cruel to go on too much for my poor readers out of the know...if you know what I mean...

  4. Yeah, I saw the whole Season 3 a few months ago. I think it's my favorite out of the three. But I'm not saying why... otherwise I'll ruin plot lines. ;)

  6. So, I haven't seen any of season 3, but I am so happy to see that there was indeed a wedding from the picture you posted. My husband didn't want me to read any past the picture, because he doesn't want it spoiled for me. :)
