Bliss

new years resolution #1: write in my blog more.
nyr #2: find bliss.

i am just beginning to read "eat pray love" and my god, not meaning to sound cocky, but i'd almost thought i'd written it i can relate so incredibly at times. i am 3/4 way through the author's first city of adventure, italy, where she attempts to bathe in pleasure. without sex mind you. :) and...she is teaching me so many beautiful italian words and phrases. why i didnt read this sooner i am not sure.

i highly recommend the read. so far specifically her thoughts on antidepressants, "god", and of how she gives of herself. its a beautiful read. thanks laura.

so, as much as i wish i could currently afford my own year long self finding journey (not to say it wont happen....) i am hoping to find some thngs of myself my past that i lost in this year of oh nine...

so bliss. there are a few reasons this word stands out to me...it simply encompasses something i wish to experience. again. or, maybe for the first time? i found it ironically great that its definition was as simple as it is. i hear obtaining bliss can be so simple...
