One of the best parts about living in California are the magnificent redwood trees. They are so beautiful and they just make the nature in California so much more enjoyable. I go on hikes and runs with my mom and our dog Gracie all the time. My mom is the true redwood lover in this family. I just have to say With trees like these, who wouldn’t be a tree hugger? ...
I just wanted to congratulate the amazing students at my high school, Scotts Valley High for doing an amazing job raising money for people in Haiti with their winter concert. I am so impressed by my fellow students, there is so much talent at my school I never really knew about. Raising money for this great cause and watching my friends and fellow students performing was so inspiring and I just wanted to say ...
Downtown Santa Cruz has a Thai restaurant called Pacific Thai and out front it almost always has really interesting fruit carvings. My favorite are the watermelon ones, they are always fascinating to look at. Thanks Pacific Thai for being amazing!
At first I wasn’t sure what to think of you two because I didn’t understand your relationship but then it became clear to me that you were partners. You and your partner seemed so sad.I wonder what happened, you seemed to be comforting him as if something horrible had happened. I really wanted to ask what tragedy had befallen you and your partner, but I refrained. I wonder what it would be like to be you. How hard it must be for you and your partner, I wanted to say I was sorry. I am sorry life never seems fair, I really wish it was. I really do. I wish you both well in the future, and a reminder that your sorrows may someday pass. Be strong and sooner or later the sun will rise.
There is a message in a bottle Somewhere out there for me Lost among stormy seas And faraway lands I don’t know whom it is from Or when it will arrive But I know It is out there somewhere Searching for me To deliver its message It kept safe for me It survived the winds The hurricanes at sea The harsh unmerciful waves Passed from hand to hand Sea to sea I know it will find me someday And that day when it arrives at last I will find it among the rocks Nestled and safe Waiting just for me Inside is a letter About what I do not know Just a small little note From an author unknown Telling me a secret I have lived my whole life just to know For now I am waiting With my eyes turned to the sea Watching for the glint of a bottle Lost at sea
I saw you on the beach dancing around with a hula hoop playing catch with your dog. You seemed so happy and care free, you didn’t care who saw you or what they thought. You were just there to have fun. I was a little worried you would steal my dog, you seemed to like her a lot and wanted to play with her. Sorry I couldn’t stick around keep up the good attitude. I hope to see you again some time hula hooping on the beach.
I know Hawaii is a place of relaxation and time to let all your worries go, but somethings do need to be held onto. Your bathing suit top for starters and your decency. This really cracks me up because I don’t know what it is about vacations but for some reason the second people go on vacation there is a little switch in their heads that says Hey I am on vacation all that normally applies no longer does as long as I am vacationing. ...
Black striped nails Fox with nine tails All our efforts fail Time to let our dreams sail Black striped claws Staring calmly into the lion’s maw Trying not to cry with a locked jaw Forever remember the horrors you saw Black striped hair Leave behind those who care Stepping off a cliff if you dare Walking into darkness unless you’re scared Black striped skin The game you play but never win Look at your face you’re guilty as sin This is my hell go on jump in ...
One of the nicest things about living in Santa Cruz is the redwoods. My mom and I often go running in the woods and sometimes it really does appear divine. My mom goes in much more often than I do and she took this picture. God truly is in the little things like this. I am just glad that I have gotten see things like this.
