Terri and I have started using the word "free" in place of "dead."
This is the happiest I've been since coming home.
We went on an evening bike ride and chased the sunset. It just rained, and everything is so, so green. There were beautiful mountains of clouds in the sky. We rode by trees with new baby leaves and fields that glistened in the golden light with dandelion fluff and spider's webs. Cows and horses and a brown llama. We were chased by a dachshund named Punkin, but were speedy enough to survive.
Glorious.
As Terri and I ate ice cream on the floor in her room, I told her I liked the name ojushte and she replied "You like everything." And I realized... I do like everything!
I often forget that.
The next morning, my feeling vividly alive faded, but that's okay. I have only to remind myself.
Thank you for reading my silly thoughts. I LOVE YOU!

ReplyDeleteTracey, to be honest, I don't think you like everything. To be more specific, I think you appreciate small things that others don't notice. Or if they do notice them, it's only a meaningless glance.
ReplyDeleteYour outlook is very refreshing.
Also, I like the blog layout!
ReplyDeleteYou haven't blogged in two months. Are you okay?
