schlomo:

I came to the Oregon coast and ended up seeing the album cover to my new year. (at Pacific City Beach)

I love this place.

"A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions,..."

“A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions, thus: 1. What am I trying to say? 2. What words will express it? 3. What image or idiom will make it clearer? 4. Is this image fresh enough to have an effect? And he will probably ask himself two more: 1. Could I put it more shortly? 2. Have I said anything that is avoidably ugly? But you are not obliged to go to all this trouble. You can shirk it by simply throwing your mind open and letting the ready-made phrases come crowding in. They will construct your sentences for you — even think your thoughts for you, to a certain extent — and at need they will perform the important service of partially concealing your meaning even from yourself.”

gracie-law:

Phew. We did it, guys. We made it!

I remember picking up shifts off and on in a couple of ERs and seeing equipment with inspection stickers that said “Y2K COMPLIANT”… That made me feel better.

nazhamid:

This photo was from August. The sun setting in Kauai, Hawaii. It’s one of my favorite places in the world. I (and Jen) feel at peace there.

2013 has been a decent year. Some up ups, some down downs, with a year that’s unfortunately ending tumultuously.

That said: it’s time to take a deep breath and to look at these problems as something to solve and get past - to not wallow and falter, to sway helplessly.

It’s the time to pick up yourself and those around you that need help - the people that you care about and love, and get them to where they need to be, where they deserve to be.

Much love, see you in 2014.
