♥ I really need to concentrate on the positive things right now.

Last week when I was swimming the backstroke, I could see hummingbirds floating around above me. It seems like I can't quite get over the magic of this place. Even now I can hear them clicking and chirping to each other in the tree outside my window.

And then, on Saturday I swam at night. I could see tiny pinpricks of stars, which was so affirming to me. I was swimming without my glasses on and so it was kind of heartwarming that I could at least see a couple stars without any aid. The clouds were puffy and pinkish and I saw an airplane cross the sky too. It was just good to be in the water and moving my body.

♥ Life is too short for me let myself be surrounded by drama and by people who don't really care. There is beauty in everything all around me and it is time to concentrate on that. To concentrate on making myself a better person than I was before and to be good to those around me.

♥ Sometimes it feels like I'll never be able to go home again, but at least I can still dream about it.
