She Walked Away

Glorious Exhaustion

I recently took a day trip with a friend from long ago. I had never been in close or regular communication with this friend, but he has known me my entire life, our siblings are friends, our parents friendly.

I was tired from having stayed out late the previous night, but excited to be enjoying a beautiful day in good company, looking at art and the countryside.

At one point in the day, the conversation, I surprised myself by confessing, "I may not be all the things I always wanted to be, but I am happy. Really happy. And it is incredible."

 

 

 

 

Spring is the Thing

I waited patiently through this, the most horrible and seemingly endless winter I can ever remember.

I wrestled demons.

I slept too much.

I slept too little.

Now, the rain is hitting the ground litle a sledgehammer. But it is rain. Not snow, rain.

Thanks for getting the hell out of dodge, winter. I was about to kick your ass (or the other way around).
