It doesn’t seem like these are going to be around for much longer so I figured I’d document them while I still had the chance.

I love the colors in this shot.

I had a wonderful, peaceful lunch break today. I spotted these lovely little leaves creeping onto a wooden fence. I have to say I love the texture of the fence.

After I found this I went to my favorite park and ate my lunch, brainstormed, wrote out some of the life goals that have been swimming around in my head and then watched the clouds and the trees dance in the wind.  Sitting and enjoying nature has been on my to-do list for awhile. I need to start making that a regular part of my schedule. I recommend you do too.

(Hurray, we’re all caught up! and with any luck I’ll be able to keep it that way)

My mini vacation was great! Look at this amazing view I had from the plane.

It’s pretty awesome that we can rise above the clouds for a few hundred dollars (actually this flight only cost me $83). This was only a dream for so many people that came before us and now we think it’s a normal part of life. Sometimes I get stopped dead in my tracks thinking about stuff like that.

First of all, I’m sorry for falling off the face of the earth this weekend – I was taking pictures but wasn’t able to get them uploaded. But I’m back and ready to rock it!

Now then onto business: Friday was a terrible day at work, lets just say I ended up tearing up a bit in the HR office. Once I finally got a lunch break (3:30 pm) I headed straight to the beach, threw out my happy blue towel, put some Imogen Heap in my ears and read a bit of Ben Patterson’s thoughts on the Psalms. Needless to say – I felt much better an hour later

I think its important to have a stash of emotional medication for those days that don’t go according to plan, what’s in you’re de-funk medicine cabinet?

I was feeling well enough to go outside (for a few minutes) today. I really like the rain, and puddles, and reflections…. so here you go a reflection in a rain puddle – what could be better than that?
