I am just going to say I missed about 60 days since I missed all of July and August in the writing department - and the last 60something days have been chalk full of happy moments - mixed in with the various feelings of anxiety, sorrow and angst. It happens. It's life.
Talking with a friend late into the night, she expressed her desire to stop with negative thoughts and replace them with positive. While I admire the pursuit, I also forewarned her that we should be careful not suppress emotions that are really just a part of life. It's one thing to dwell entirely in a negative light, and I think most that dwell in this are likely to completely bypass feelings of peace and contentment, but it's another thing to just accept our emotions and happenings.
Anyway, I will stop my soapbox for now. Some highlights for me over the last couple of months:
- Traveling - to Portland, Seattle, mountain towns
- Random adventures - rafting, sea kayaking, mountain retreats
- Musical endeavors - gigs at distilleries, coffee shops, jamming
- High places - the 39th floor of a high rise in downtown Denver (stunning views)
- Gods provision - people providing through spontaneous work opportunities, offering places to stay, plane tickets
- Reuniting with friends - seeing people along the travels
- Games - I love nerdy games!
- Distilleries - Still Cellars
- Children - nannying in Denver, Seattle, and hangin with kiddos in between
- Discovery - learning about prayer and prophecy - seeing prophecies come to fruition
- Exercise - I go stir crazy when I can't be active!! Sooo thankful I can be active again.
- Positive people.
I sometimes think on it and I feel I really do live a charmed life. I have my share of financial anxiety or lack direction on what's next, but it's really not so bad. In fact, it's quite good. I have friends and family who love me, I have people watching out for me, I get invitations to do things I love...
For people who actually read this, I will be making efforts to become consistent once more. For the 365 Days. Haha. What are we at? 247 (because I skipped over 60...) so here's to the final 100some.
