I decided that instead of posting a bunch of pictures from our trip to Nashville, you should just go to Amy G.'s Flickr, because she is an awesome photographer.
(Here is one, though.)
For a long time I have been (and still am) trying to work towards loving people more intentionally, constantly, and unconditionally. Obviously I fail a lot, but it's something that I at least try to be conscious of. Lately, though, I've been realizing that all of those characteristics of love should apply to how I think of myself, too. Why do I think it's OK to constantly judge myself and find fault in everything I do or say? Or to tell myself that I am ugly, stupid, or worthless? Those maybe are extreme, but I think that too often we assume that believing we're not good enough is a sign of humility or something. Instead, I think humility should come when we acknowledge that we are loved, but still understand that we don't deserve any more than anyone else.
Now time for a lil' bike ride.

I like you. :) And, for the record, I think you are very beautiful, very smart, and very worthy. And very humble.

Just sayin'. :)
