29 - 41: the first weeks of February

I am in Love with Love and Love is in love with me.
My body is in Love with the soul and
the soul is in Love with my body.
I opened my arms to Love and
Love embraced me like a lover.

 half of February 2011 has come and gone in the blink of an eye.  there was the fortune of spending quality time with two cherished friends (with some very exciting news!), putt-putt golfing and red velvet cake for Ashton's birthday, leisurely park walking, Uchiko deliciousness and wonderful company for my birthday (32 - woohoo!), and a most memorable valentine's day Willie Nelson show at the new ACL Moody Theater (which is awesome, btw) with my more than wonderful husband. i got a new camera for my birthday (Canon 550D) that i am stoked about learning how to use effectively!  lovelovelove
