add color.





my personal theme for twenty-twelve is to be more. 
be more of a mother. be more of a wife. be more of a friend. be more of lindsay.
it's an easy enough mantra. 
quick to come to mind when i feel more like sneaking off quietly.
and back into my shell. 
+++
this is what being more looked like last week. 
it was colorful and so very sweet. 
he hummed while he painted. 
and my heart sang. 
+++
be more.
be more.
be more.

I LOVE your theme.
Miss you dearly.
Why are we having such a hard time spending time together?

We just need a really good, long girls night out. At least, that's what I need.

But Lindsay, you are already enough. I can hardly imagine what "more" will be. Love.

A lovely way to put it. I felt very similar about this year and picked the word 'expand'... horizons, relationship,s hopefully not waistline... :)
