The way we look
This came across my Instagram last month and it struck me. Made me stop what I was doing and just think. Think about who I am. Think about how I think about myself.

Journal Entry: July 29, 2014 "Love and harmony combine, And around our souls entwine, While thy branches mix with mine, And our roots together join. Joys upon our branches sit, Chirping loud and singing sweet; Like gentle streams beneath our feet, Innocence and virtue meet." -William Blake Before I got married, my mother gave me … Continue reading Love is blind, but marriage restores its sight
