Not the usual post name- but it is the name of the colors I am using to repaint the upstairs bathroom. My stay here is Rochester is extremely limited, just around 7 days to be exact. So I was faced with the dilemma of sitting at home every day (which is FUN!) or putting my 7 days of unscheduled and restless days to good work. School work? Nooooooooooo. Personal work? ha. I've put myself hard at work making our shameful girls bathroom (which is currently coated in blue tile...) to good use and practice my interior designing skills. The look has yet to be completed. I'll post something up here just so everyone can see how good I am (yea, right!) and be compelled to make the same change.
So there pops up my question- and my favorite word. Change. Who fears it, and why? We all recognize the fact that there are reasons behind it (security, comfort, lack of confidence in the unknown) but does it deal with resources too? If we have everything we need to complete the task (I have sand paper, rollers, primer, the whole deal) are we more confident? Or if it is something we really want to be completed, do we find the resources anyways? The answer may seem obvious (umm, yes?) but if you really look into it, I think the size of the task at hand, the resources available and those working around you (or lack there of in my case) really mold your opinion of change. But then there are those who simply fear it. What would be the ideal situation for change? Think learning, results, failures, frustrations, triumphs..

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
(Helen Keller)
I beg you...to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. and the point is, to live everything. live the questions now. perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
(Rainer Maria Rilke)
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams...
(Eleanor Roosevelt)
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
(Mary Anne Radmacher)
Do one thing every day that scares you.
(Eleanor Roosevelt)
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
