Carry moonbeams home in a jar ...





I saw this pic and instantly thought of my all time favorite Frank Sinatra song "Swinging on a Star" . I simply love everything about this pic. and the song :)

From beginning to end ...

So I decided to do an interesting post tonight. I was in a mood to edit pics in photoshop (as I often am) and created what I thought was a work of art :) . after all was said and done though I knew how much I had to do to the pic. to get the end result I never realized how big of a change it truly can be so I decided to post some before and after shots on here :)

And that's just some of the many pics. I've edited ... kinda crazy to look at what they were (the pictures) and what they ended up being. Hmmmmmm bet you could get a message outta that ;)

What I say out loud is only half of what's in my head ....

     Ever go to sit down and not be able to write anything? Even though you have millions of thoughts running through your head. You can't put into words what you're thinking ; how you feel ; your view on the world ... not even on paper.

   I feel like I have a lot to say and then when it's my turn at the mic I have nothing, nothing of worth anyways. All the sudden my arguments don't hold up; my emotions get the better of me, and I only say things that are only surface worth. 

      I realized that when I speak I like to be heard. I know what you're thinking. Doesn't everyone ? But I think in life there are some people who want to be heard and then there are those who choose to be heard . I want to choose to be heard I'm just not sure how to get to that point though. I don't want to twiddle my thumbs waiting on an opportunity to present itself but I refuse to speak over the crowd as well. 

     I've realized many different things about myself lately. I'm quiet when I'm upset and I can't shut up when my temper gets the better of me (which is rare). I could talk anyones ear off and yet find it hard to speak up sometimes. What is this quirk that is within me?
