left brain, right brain...

what are you???

(Left:) "I am the left brain. I am a scientist. A mathematician. I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear. Analytical. Strategic. I am practical. Always in control. A master of words and language. Realistic. I calculate equations and play with numbers. I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am."

(Right:) "I am the right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feet. I am movement. Vivid colors. I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel. I am everything I wanted to be."

this is an advertisement, but I am moved by it's meaning; not to mention the beautiful colors & description!

i believe we are all a little bit of both, but that is open to interpretation, of course.  i LOVE that about this crazy colorful world we live in.  just sayin.

thanks chrissy for finding and posting this work of art.  it provokes thought and smiles from my soul.

to cry or not to cry...

that is the question.

I saw a "tear jerker" movie with my niece last night (Dolphin Tale).  If you know me, you KNOW I was crying.  She asked me "why?"  I said, "Because I'm happy."  Does that make any sense at all, especially to a 6 year old?!  (6 and a half to be correct btw.)  I've been thinking all day about that and my answer is...no.

Do we always need to make sense?  I believe not.  Leave it to a brilliant 6 year old to help us remember that.  "Adults are just big kids." ~CL

Today is an emotional day for me, for my family.  We lost my Mom to the C word 3 years ago.  1,095 days to be exact.  As we march on with our little lives, the positive & loving things keep us going.  Do I want to cry today?  Maybe.

Emotions...happy, sad and everything inbetween.  Express yourself as you see fit.  It's what makes us unique.
