Do you remember back, just last month, when i chose my word for the year?  Well, it just so happened that that word was EASE.  Remember?  Not TEASE, or DISease.  Not let's-see-how-difficult-we-can-make-it for her, or let's-play-dirty-sneaky-little-tricks on her (ha ha ha). 

But, EASE.  As in calm and flowing and effortless. 

Seriously, i know, there is much to be learned from struggle and opposition, suffering and contrasts and all that other bullshit, but COME ON!  I swear, i can see the gifts, really---i'm doing my best to GET THIS stuff you keep slamming in my face. 

But slow down.  i'm tired now and i just want to rest.  Can you allow for that?  Pretty Plllleeeeaase.  with sugar on top.  I'll even throw a cherry up there and some whip cream if you want.

And one more thing, do you mind if we start today?

Thank you for your consideration,

Julia M.
