"How To Be Really Alive"

After a VERY long night, ended with disappointment, I have decided to post something just for the occasion. I have been saving this post for a time I needed a little pick me up, and today is just that day!

The following hangs above our toilet at work. It is written by Sark:


How to Be Really Alive

LIVE JUICY. STAMP OUT CONFORMITY. STAY IN BED ALL DAY. DREAM OF GYPSY WAGONS. FIND SNAILS MAKING LOVE. DEVELOP AN ASTOUNDING APPETITE FOR BOOKS. DRINK SUNSETS. DRAW OUT YOUR FEELINGS. AMAZE YOURSELF. BE RIDICULOUS. STOP WORRYING. NOW. IF NOT NOW, THEN WHEN? MAKE YES YOUR FAVORITE WORD. MARRY YOURSELF. DRY YOUR CLOTHES IN THE SUN. EAT MANGOES NAKED. KEEP TOYS IN THE BATHTUB. SPIN YOURSELF DIZZY. HANG UPSIDE DOWN. FOLLOW A CHILD. CELEBRATE AN OLD PERSON. BE ADVANCED. TRY ENDEARING. INVENT NEW WAYS TO LOVE. TRANSFORM NEGATIVES. DELIGHT SOMEONE. WEAR PAJAMAS TO A DRIVE IN MOVIE. ALLOW YOURSELF TO FEEL RICH WITHOUT MONEY. BE WHO YOU TRULY ARE AND THE MONEY WILL FOLLOW. BELIEVE IN EVERYTHING. YOU ARE ALWAYS ON YOUR WAY TO A MIRACLE.

THE MIRACLE IS YOU

I love this because it reminds me to take notice of the little things and to remember that miracles are all around us. All I need to do is open my eyes and see them....
