so i know i keep saying this BUT what an amazing life altering experience this has been leaving everything i know and moving somewhere completely different. it's not just about learning to readjust your life, learning to weave your ways into the lives of others, learning to be completely open and vulnerable to everything around you. there is so much "new" happening that it's hard to forget that what's new to you isn't new to everyone around you. and although i like to think that my enthusiasm is catching and contagious, the truth is, it's not for everyone. just like weather isn't for everyone. of course, we will have this conversation again in a couple of months as everyone keeps drilling into my head that the doom of the gloom of the winters of the pacific northwest is coming and that it is surely to pierce through my positiveness. but screw that, why look ahead to what awful is to come? why not just experience and enjoy the now??? it's like riding a bicycle up a hill, never look up, just down. see whats directly underfoot, not the giant hill that is gonna cause muscle spasms and heart palpitations. so that's exactly what i'm gonna do. enjoy and experience what is happening around me now, and then just wait to see what fun comes "then". ironically of course, unlike the hill, i am gonna look up. because although one persons leaves falling signifies the cold and dark to come, to me, it's simply the beauty of mother nature in all of her glory. and hot damn she's beautiful.
xoxo.
