sparkle & fade....

so, there was a brief sparkle of hope yesterday...but it quickly burned out.  i thought one of my job pursuits was going to work out.  and then it didn't.  well, it's still a dim possibility i suppose, but doesn't appear that it's really going to happen.  i've never been so excited, hopeful, terrified, tense, nervous, nauseous, and perplexed all at once.  yes, that's a lot of emotions!  Cymbalta is sounding pretty good right about now, even if their commercial portrays people as wind-up dolls....

but i've been hit with some inspiration today (decidedly much better than what i posted yesterday).  here goes:

"Life is too short to wake up with regrets.

So love the people who treat you right.

Love the ones who don't, just because you can.

Believe everything happens for a reason.

If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.

If it changes your life, let it.

God never said life would be easy.

He just promised it would be worth it."

 
pretty great, even if it did come in the form of one of those gay forwards that says "Happy Girlfriend's Day!"  just kidding...thanks to my sista, BMac for sharing!
 
and to top it off, in response to my "inspiration" from that-nameless-someone-i'm-not-supposed-to-be-talking-to-anymore...the wise, wise KD says "you're not an after-thought, play-thing, or quick diversion from real life...put that in your blog (and smoke it). Girl Power (complete with fist pump)!"  what would i do without all of the amazing people in my life? 
 
and now...back to sewing!  will post pics of lovely bags soon.
