A New Day Has Come

A New Day Has Come -- Céline Dion

"I was waiting for so long

For a miracle to come

Everyone told me to be strong

Hold on and don't shed a tear

Through the darkness and good times

I knew I'd make it through

And the world thought I had it all

But I was waiting for you"

Power Word

Is there such a thing as a power word? (Probably not. But I think there is.) In any case, if the word did exist , it would be defined as the one word that describes that positive characteristic you exude. 

I think I may have just discovered my power word: RESILIENT. 

Seriously, with all the mess I've gone through in my 23 years of life, there's a reason why I am still sane.

You guys!

Oh. My. Goodness. 

I fell in love this weekend!

... with Pier 1 Imports. 

I went on my usual drive around town this weekend to get out of the house for a few hours. I had a specific goal in mind: finding pretty decals to spice up my bedroom wall a bit. Of course, upon entering the store, I felt awkward and out of place, especially since I've never been there before. But, as I explored beyond the wall decor section, I absolutely fell in love. 

Everything in the store was so vividly bright and colorful. The pillows were soft, plush, and luxuriously designed (especially those that were designed with a Middle Eastern flare). The kitchenware were brilliantly colored and the other bits and bobs were just so cute and unique, I wanted to purchase them all.They were also having an 'End of Summer' Sale, so everything just seemed to be reasonably priced.

I can definitely picture myself decorating my future home/apartment with some of the items seen in the store. I can't wait for an excuse to go back there, and if I can't think of a reason to return, I'll go back just to window shop.
