its almost here.


sunshine - whether it be spring or summer or fall, is coming. I can feel it when the clouds begin to part on the evening drives home. my feet begin to dance and my heart begins to pump. being outside, after working inside all day is something I want more than ever. When I was young, I took being outside for granite. I never had a bigger desire than at 25 to be in the trees. to be in the mountains and hills and fields. to smell more than circulated air. to feel the soft ground below my feet. out of heels and into boots. climbing and climbing. for the rush of the journey and the work on the legs. the more and more I age, the more and more I am drawn to wander. to move about, explore and adventure. you would think one would slow down. I am just getting started.

its the rush, the actual feeling of being alive. the fresh air on my lungs is a high - better than any drug could give me. I'm catching on to what God had in store for this life. to be in it and live it until he calls us home.

Instead of just being, and walking through this life, day to day, doing nothing to enrich my life, I am going to make small changes. Cleaning out my house and garage, picking up a book or two instead of turning on the TV. Painting... ahh what a night! Saving my money and feeling what It is like to eat a fridge down or make food from scratch. Live off what I got and don't need anything for a while. Lean on those that are sticking around and make a pie for them! discover guitar again, break my weak fingers into those strings and sing to the night. rediscover writing and feeling. I used to get so deep, try...
