Days 187-247

So I failed to write.  Actually, that's not really the case... I decided to live life rather than be worried about writing about it. Although I do enjoy the nature of this blog and keeping track of the small things, I also want to enjoy life.

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.
