365 Days of Memories Take Four - Day 182
Tropical Storm Passing through.

*I wish I could lay down beside you when the day is done
And wake up to your face against the morning sun.
But like everything I've ever known,
It'd disappear someday...
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away.*

I joke around a lot with my friends and family about how I'll probably never get married because I don't have time to even think about meeting someone, or how I'll never have kids because the little ones at work drive me crazy... but the truth is that's really just a defense mechanism. When I look at pictures like this of a couple walking along the beach at a storm rolls by in the distance I see everything that I want and hope to have someday... and I wonder if I'll ever get the chance.
I've always said I think it's harder to find love the older you get. I remember being 20 and thinking it would be so easy... and having boyfriends and always thinking that would be 'the one' I would marry someday. But none of them were ever the one and I'm not the kind of girl to settle so when I realized this, I let them go... and sometimes they let me go. And now, the older I get the more I realize it IS harder to find love in your late 20's and early 30's. Probably because at my age you aren't looking to just fool around.
But the truth is,
I just want to meet that guy who loves to take walks on the beach and understands the beauty of a sunset or a sunrise or just a blue sky on a clear day.
I want to meet that guy who will pull the car over so I can take a picture of an awesome storm coming in.
I wanna find someone who likes staying up late on Fridays but knows that you don't have to go out drinking to enjoy it. That sometimes just being at home curled up by the fire with a good book is enough.

I want to meet the man who stays in bed late on Saturday mornings because that's what Saturday mornings are for.
But most of all I want to meet the guy who loves me... and who I love back.
I don't know... sometimes I guess it just seems like it'll never happen.

Super Moon

Taking pictures of the moon is no easy task. You have to have the right type of camera, zoom lense, and no how to use the manual settings. I do not have an extreme zoom lense on my camera so I just used what I did have. Didn't do too badly though. Seeing the Super Moon last night was a really neat thing though and it looked so cool just hanging out there in the sky :)

*All the noise and the voices are screaming what they have to say.
And the headlines and sound bytes are giving me demons to hate.
And the man on tv, he tells me it's ugly but if you ask me,
And the headlines and sound bytes are giving me demons to hate.
And the man on tv, he tells me it's ugly but if you ask me,
It's a beautiful world,
It's a beautiful world.
It's a beautiful world.
Oh there's tears and there's fears and there's losses and crosses to bare.
And sometimes the best we can do is just to whisper a prayer,
And sometimes the best we can do is just to whisper a prayer,
and press on because, there's so much to live for and so much to love...
In this beautiful world.
Say what you will, but I still believe
it's a beautiful world.
Say what you will, but I still believe
it's a beautiful world.
And I know, I'm not dreaming it.
I just choose to believe in it.
I just choose to believe in it.
So I hate that I sometimes miss what's right in front of my eyes.
And I know at the end of my road I'll be wanting more time.
Just another sunset, one more kiss from my baby, a smile from a friend...

365 Days of Memories Take Four - Day 168
Gone Fishin'
June 2013Bodie Island
Outer Banks, North Carolina
*When the frantic pace of life attacks me,
and weighs me to the ground,
I long for someplace to escape to,
the one place I have found.
and weighs me to the ground,
I long for someplace to escape to,
the one place I have found.
No stoplights to obey.
No signs or limits there.
Just drop the hook and make your home,
almost anywhere.
Just drop the hook and make your home,
almost anywhere.
Where the sky meets the water,
Where the wind is my song,
Where the sun is my brother,
That's where I belong.
Where the wind is my song,
Where the sun is my brother,
That's where I belong.
The gentle motion of the seas
just rocks me off to sleep.
No sirens, cars or screams
Just the quiet ocean breeze.
No sirens, cars or screams
Just the quiet ocean breeze.
A frigate bird encircles me a thousand feet above
She dips her wing and bows her head
Like we share a common love.
She dips her wing and bows her head
Like we share a common love.
Where the sky meets the water,
Where the wind is my song,
Where the sun is my brother,
That's where I belong.*
Where the wind is my song,
Where the sun is my brother,
That's where I belong.*
