I KNOW.....

..... my life has yet to turn out the way I planned.

purple will always be my favorite color.

FISH ARE FRIENDS NOT FOOD!!!! After 26 years of lying that I was allergic to seafood, it turned out to be true! Never give in to peer pressure, you could die! (July 2007)

if you look at someone long enough you discover their humanity. (my niece Natti at the rodeo. She loves horses.)

love is not undying.

snow is magical, peaceful, beautiful, sparkly and brings me silent inspiration.

this is my favorite time of night. One of my secret spots is in Logan. It looks very similar to the one in the picture. I used to go there in the middle of snowy misty night and sit on the bench or by the creek under the street lamp for hours.

the Titanic was the grandest ship in the world. What a tragically romantic story and if I could go back in time I would have loved to be on it.

there is a stillness in a sunrise. "... behold our God is with us and he will not suffer that we should fall." ~Alma 56:46~ (my nephew Eli at Henry's Lake)

I see a heaven in a wild flower like one of my favorite poets, William Blake.

"When so many of are lonely, as seem to be lonely, it would be inexcusably selfish to be lonely alone." ~Tennessee Williams! Brittany will always be my best friend. From cradle to grave!

the answer is in the picture!

I should have been a rock star but I can't sing , however, my Yellow Wellies rock the most!

this is my favorite picture of Christ. There is a familiarness to it, like I've been there before.
I believe in Neverland.

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music!" ~Friedrich Nietzsche~ I used to wear my fairy wings all the time in college and I'm pretty sure everyone thought I was crazy!

I am a hopeless romantic.

"Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary". ~ Edgar Allan Poe~

This is life not heaven. You don't have to be perfect. It took me a long time to figure that out. My whole life I've always been told by everyone that I needed to become PERFECT , or I should be more like this person or that person and blah blah blah! Well, turns out I'm not like them. I'm like ME! I became really frustrated trying to be something that I knew I wasn't or could ever really be.

I hated the word perfect until one day , in my college years, I was reading, "Living, Loving and Learning" by Leo F. Buscaglia. He said, "The hardest thing in the world is to be something that you're not. How wondrous if we could accept the fact that we are our perfect self. That's so logical, isn't it? Who is a more perfect you than you? Only you can know what is the perfect you. And you are the only perfect you who will pass this way in the history of the world! Maybe others try to make it imperfect but we should do as E.E. Cummings recommends -- fight the battle of being "you" forever because it will always be the greatest battle you will ever have to fight, and it's the only battle worth fighting--". I never thought of it that and it makes complete sense! Become the perfect "you"! Brilliant!

ORDINARY

Mindy throws up everything she eats, a laxative junky with a shrinking heart.

Jenny doesn't eat at all, someone called her fat. Now and 80 pound skeleton with darkened eyes.

Ray cuts herself on the outside to kill the thing on the inside. It just feels better than anything else.

Elly tried to fit in but she can't. Drowned a bottle of aspirin with a bottle of vodka. She died on a Thursday.

~An original writing by Rosanna L. Moncrief~

I know....

.... that I was FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE (Psalms 139:14)

Find peace in yourself and share it with the world. This is my 100th post.
