let it be.


i never knew i could have so many thoughts in a minute...often i end up in a state of confusion, other times i feel content, sometimes i just feel lost.  there is no rhyme or reason...it just is.  i have accepted this part of my life for the time being...no it hasn't been easy, but i see sometimes you just need to let it be.

let it be.  never did i imagine that these 3 little words would be so meaningful and therapeutic.  in a time when i thought i had complete control of my life, in a time when i thought i had all the answers to my questions, in a time when i thought i saw my future so clearly...i realize that no one, no matter how powerful can see into the days ahead.  the future will always hold uncertainty.  it is scary, but at the same time it is thrilling...exciting.  it is the uncertainty that makes life worth living.

so here i sit, listening to the current theme song to my life - knowing that in time there will be an answer...let it be.

--------

no thank you could EVER be enough to each and every one of my readers...my friends.  your words of wisdom, encouragement and love has lifted me up during a time when i thought i could never see the light of day.  i thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart.  each comment, every personal email sent has been read (and re-read!)...please forgive me if i have not had an opportunity to respond...i will in time, i promise.

with love, lindsay

    Might I also add that I've noticed a change in your photography? It has blossomed into a very artsy style with beautiful composition...love! These are lovely photographs, too...such a perfect depiction of Spring. Fresh life. Renewal. Apropos, no? :)

  7. What a song to live by, isn't it? Just beautiful. These photos are divine and completely capture spring. And your skirt is just lovely by the way. I adore your blog. I took one of your buttons. :)

  9. Oh Lindsay! It's in the times that you described, that life is truly found. There is no joy or life found in a perfectly planned, in control life! It's in the suffering and pain that we find out what life really is and who we really ARE! That is our training ground sweet friend. That is where the miracles happen. If we could all just learn at an earlier age that there is no such thing as a smooth, painless, comfortable life, we'd all be able to cope a bit better. You will find beauty where you are, and it sounds like you already have. And you'll have a character that you wouldn't trade for a thing--even though it was hell to get it.
    God bless your beautiful soul, and I LOVE your new tattoo!!!

  10. Even as an English major, I was bad at interpreting the deep meaning of text, but I hope this post means that you are doing better. I have thought of you from time to time and look forward to your posts, as always. Have a blessed week!

    Also, I agree with the others: your pictures are beautiful! They remind me of spring!
