more than the stars...

so my sweet friend Jul posted this amazing little gem which i promptly snatched for my own blog. do you ever feel this? so understanding of others, but too too too hard on yourself? she's amazing. last night there was a little heartbreak and i couldn't properly explain to some of the most important people in my life that it's all going to be ok. i tried. i made one cry harder and put the other rather on the defensive. so here's what i *wished* i could've said:

  i don't have much time because my eyes are just so tired, but as i was relaxing and doing some blog stalking, i found this...


found here.

i know that i am way harder on myself than i am with anyone else. which, is how it should be...we know ourselves better than anyone else. but, if someone else were to make the mistakes i make, i would tell them i love them and that it's ok and that tomorrow is another day. and tomorrow we would laugh about it. but with myself, i just run it through my brain, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...you get the point. i'm so hard on the things that i do or the things that i "don't" get done.

we are all doing the very best we can with the information and the time we have. i know that much to be oh-so true.

loves, jul

i would only add that you, most beautiful women in my life, are so much more than even the trees and the stars...
