photo boy and painter girl decided to create a blog. it's about life and the things we enjoy. it's about the things we find, do, cook, read, make, grow, break, love, don't love, listen to, see, and learn. we'll take turns writing. we hope you like it. we hope you get it. check back with us often. enjoy...

give a little bit
sometimes things brew inside and around you for a long time as you await some sort of closure, some sort of graceful resolve. without waxing poetic or delving too deep into the personal lives of the people i love and know, i have to say i am getting in touch with some closure and resolve and some understanding in several areas. life unfolds in stages. like an onion, you have to peel back one thin layer at a time. it's a process.
about a year ago i tore an article out of a magazine while i was having hair day. it struck me so i folded it up and tucked it away. from time to time i have pulled it out to read in hopes that i had arrived at a similar destination of closure that this writer was sharing about in her story. i don't know that you ever "arrive", but i will say that sometimes even the smallest decision or gesture can change the face of things in an instant. all of a sudden one more layer is pulled back, and a little more clarity comes to you, a little more understanding, a little more peace. a little more grace for everyone's human-ness.
here is a quote out of this article. it doesn't matter what the situation is... it is applicable to life, our decisions, friendships, marriage, parenting...
"i believe in love. i believe in hard times and love winning. i believe people make mistakes. i believe people are selfish and generous at the same time. i believe very few people want to hurt others. i believe life can surprise you. i believe in happy endings."
