So a girlfriend told me about this woman that does parodies of sports shirts. They parody the team logo and name. I, of course, bought the one for the Toronto Blue Jays.
“To observe people and find pleasure in their individual traits. To wish to afford scope for the interests and pleasures of those with whom you are brought into contact without desiring to acquire power over them or to secure their enthusiastic admiration.” *Bertrand Russell*
…go wrong. Everyday. You wake up with a certain expectation of the day, at least I do, and everyday it turns out different. Sometimes better, sometimes worse, and sometimes just different.
So how do we deal with it? Get angry that the day didn’t turn out as we wanted? Yeah, sometimes I do that. I wish I didn’t though. I wish I didn’t put expectations on a day. But that the curse of humanity isn’t it? A desire to control what is impossible to control. I’m trying, emphasis on ‘trying’, to take the day as it comes. Still have goals, but realize that the unexpected and the beautiful can intrude on those days. Can intercede and either cause wonder or frustration.
I’m trying to be okay with that.

Fully entrenched in summer, I walk out every morning eager to check on my growing garden. My girl helps me tend it, and helps to water with her very own little watering can. She’s learned that to grow things need sun, and food, and water.
So when we last finished our watering of the garden, I headed back towards the house only to hear water pouring behind me. I turned around to witness my girl pouring water all over herself. When asked what she was doing she replied without hesitation, “I water myself so I grow Mama.”
Can’t fault her logic.

I think everyone loves a comfy, cozy pair of sweatpants. I certainly do. If anyone, fashion blogger or editor, says they don’t wear sweatpants, know that they’re a bald faced liar. Everyone, I mean everyone, owns a pair of sweatpants, or sweatpant-like lounge pants. It’s a universal truth – like gravity.
I find great comfort in that too. It kind of brings everyone down to earth a bit. You go into a scary interview, just imagine them in sweatpants. About to meet the President, Prime Minister, or Queen and a nervous wreck? Imagine him/her in sweatpants. Seriously. All of a sudden, that person becomes less of an intimidating abstraction, and a relatable peer.
So for all of you today, here’s me relating to you.
That, and it’s a lazy day.
