friday goodness part III:
so i tend to have this thing of packing in as much as i can into a gorgeous day. why not go out w/ a bang right?
it's my mantra really.
seeing as we were going to slc anyway... we played tag. he was it. and i rode as fast and far as i could until he caught up ;)
and thus:
the point it was.
once at t-giving point, made mah little call to see if he'd left the house yet. "just leaving now." and it was on. IKEA here i come!
i realized this is why i went 5 years throughout college CHOOSING not to have a car. the rush of it all. riding with nothing but me and the rode. ignoring time. clearing my mind. pushing my body. and allowing myself to take in the beauty that surrounds.
as i took a new path, i pushed and pulled until i arrived: the point of the mountain. from one valley to another and all i could do was gasp. not so much for air (although i was suckin wind like crazy), but at the fact that time after time of doing this...it never gets old. looking back and seeing where i've come from (literally...today ---my house,in orem---and ALSO throughout life)to know that i am capable of doing this. of experiencing this. i am healthy. my Heavenly Father has blessed me with the strength and wisdom to do so. to go from one point or chapter in my life to the next. it doesn't ever get old. it's scary sometimes. i'll be the 1st to admit, i don't do well with change. change- the one thing that is ever so constant in life, and i still struggle with it. i tend to get caught up in how things were, the past. so much so that i have to pause and realize that i've been inhibiting myself from growth.
from well needed growth.
well today, apri 1, 2011, i've decided to embrace BOTH that point and this point in my life. to embrace them and continue on to discover this path that the Lord wants and needs me to be on. giving birth to a beautiful healthy son has been my arrival at this new point . a redefining experience... the same Maybelline as before only an added drive. a new perspective. and an extended capacity to love. and thus i continue and enjoy this
sweet
sweet
ride.

ps. i made it. =)
