As much as I love being able to go outside every day and listen to the saline whisper of the sea, there’s nothing like being back in the cold Midwest (although it’s not all that cold right now) and being kept warm by my mother’s embrace. I have yet to find something worth more to me than spending time with my all-time favorite girl.How hard it will be to return to my life of solitude come Monday.
Really? I haven’t written anything since January? Although there’s been lots swirling around in my head, I’ve just been too exhausted each time I sit down at my laptop to get it all out. So much has gone on. Not really with me, but in me. Man, there always seems to be a big crowd of thoughts partying down in this little noggin of mine.But in the last few days, as I’ve lost people from my life, there’s been stillness, numbness, and clarity, for a time.I’ve seen the ugliness of people, the beauty and humor of nature, the bright promises of the future, and the love of family, friends, and an ever present God.I’m learning how to embrace my many flaws, drop my countless bad habits, release myself from other people’s problems, and stop beating myself up.I feel wiser, more at peace, more inspired.
