i was going to make a post about today. today is a special day, a day to remember. the 26th of march. the day ross and i left san diego on our journey by bicycle across the country to long island. i see that ross already wrote a post about it while i was at work and it pretty much sums up everything that i wanted to say. it made me smile and also made me tear up. i think bittersweet is the word ross used and it is best way to describe my feeling toward the trip. it was so incredible yet it is sad to think it is in the past. sometimes i think nothing will ever be as great as those 72 days. even the bad days. but thats not the case, and there are so many things which we plan to and will do in our lives which will be wonderful in their own way. their own adventure, big or small. i use the word adventure a lot. it is probably one of my favorite words. its a word that say if i were to, and i would never sum up my outlook on life in a few words, but if i did...adventure would be in those words. life is an adventure. whats the point if every day is predictable. tiny adventures make all the difference. giant adventures make me feel certain that i am truly living life to its fullest.
i came across this post on tumblr a few days back and would like to share it. it is called symptoms of inner peace. i wish more people would consider this and apply it to their lives.

Symptoms of Inner Peace:

A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences.
An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
A loss of interest in judging other people.
A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of other.
A loss of interest in conflict.
A loss of the ability to worry.
Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.

now i am going to enjoy my evening off, and turn up the heater because it is cold again. i thought spring was here but winter had to give us one more weekend of indoor activity. its alright, because im in the mood to sew some things and drink some wine.
also, i learned from one of my favorite blogs how to put music in my post so heres my favorite song of the moment/past month
