Endurance

I'm really good at a starting, but sometimes it gets tough to keep at it and finish. Which is why I'm so absolutely appreciative of things that captivate me and keep me interested, focused, and motivated with my own goals.  And a lot of times, it's because of beauty - one of the classical Greek triumvirate ("The Good, the True, the Beautiful").

"Wide Awake (Cover)" by Andie

This is a relatively new cover by Andie and it's been on constant replay for me. I never even liked the original song by Katy Perry too much, but it's just something different when Andie sings it. 0:54-1:09 her rhythm and they way she sings the melody/lyrics... and 3:29-4:00, the way she hits the notes... for me, amazing and cathartic.

I found this picture this morning on Instagram and it totally woke me up and caught my whole self into a gaze, took me away from everything that was going on for the moment, everything that was going on in my whole life, and cause me to dream, took me to a place of ethereal joy, and hopeful for the future.  This is a picture taken from a favorite Nick actress of mine - Samantha Boscarino.  She could very well be somewhere in South America right now... this picture was really recent, perhaps like 15 hours ago. Anyways, I'm so happy she took this picture... literally knocked me off my feet, but since I was technically in bed when I saw it, it... I don't know some similar way knocked me off my feet if I was on them. 

Got to keep the endurance up! Got to keep trying! Can't stay doubtful, worried, or afraid. Got to keep going! The good Lord as my witness, I'm gonna do it!
