Life these days.


It's good.  It's really darn good.  I've had a handful of spontaneous outings with my mom, little sister (big sister is in South America this month), and different friends.  Walking to my car each morning and soaking in the mild air and the sunshine is something that I'd forgotten I loved so much.  Driving to and fro with music loud and my sunroof open...I missed that too.

Don't get me wrong, you all know that I loved New York.  But I regularly thought to myself throughout my time there that even though it is a one-of-a-kind city and an amazing experience that it wouldn't be long term for me.  I'd spend my time learning, living, loving what I was doing, and when I was finished with all of that, I would bow out.  I had no real plan on where I would head next, and I really wasn't sure if I'd ever head back to California, but that's the beauty of changing the way we feel about things, as we grow. 

So really, looking back at the past and now at the present and toward the future, I continue to just feel grateful for all of the people that I have in my life, for all of the experiences that I am able to gain, and for all of the opportunities that I have set in front of me.  Life is really darn good.

Love :)

I would love to walk to my car each morning and soak in the sunshine...but I'm too busy running to my vehicle to warm it up, and start choking on the -20 degree air we have right now. It may be sunny, but it's FLIPPIN cold!
