Thursday Thoughts: Your Becoming



July 19, 2012

Happy Thursday! We’re almost to Friday! The above Thursday Thought comes from Cheryl Strayed who is commonly known as “Dear Sugar” a punchy, honest and profound advice columnist for The Rumpus.


Reading this really hit a chord with me. Everything matters, no matter how small. A day is never wasted. 


“The useless days will add up to something. The shitty waitressing jobs. The hours writing in your journal. The long meandering walks. The hours reading poetry and story collections and novels and dead people’s diaries and wondering about sex and God and whether you should shave under your arms or not. These things are your becoming.”

    That's a beautiful saying and very true. It's all about becoming in spite of the pain that grow requires.

HELLO

Decor and home with a little bit of daydreaming and real life sprinked in. My husband and I are slowly updating our 1900 Dutch Colonial. I love hunting for vintage and flying the pacific northwest and the world with my aviator husband.
