Random Ramblings

Today I have a million (and somewhat scattered) thoughts racing through my mind; goals both small and grand, recent challenges, even more recent victories, the boy, skiing, cycling, the smiling baby at the grocery store Monday, great friends, writing, good music....

I've forgotten how good this feels, how liberating to wake up in the morning and look forward to greeting the world. It's been a length of time since I've experienced this. At the risk of sounding cliche I must admit that challenges have given me a deeper appreciation for the sweeter times in life (like now for example).

I'm very much looking forward to skiing this weekend. I haven't been on my "A game" for several weeks now. Not since that blissful powder filled weekend when I hurt my legs. I feel like they are back to 100%. It will be good to have the mountain back under my feet and breathe the clean air up there. Also, I look forward to the good company that comes with skiing Snowbasin.

Then there's writing; my outlet, my talent, my love. I had neglected my beloved leather bound journal and favorite ball point pen for five long months. But I've wiped away the dust and gotten back into the groove. It energizes me to put beautiful words to paper, I love words. They can be powerful. I've rediscovered my old writing style (by old I mean dating back to high school and shortly thereafter). It's more artistic, more emotional, more fun, and beautiful.

Those are today's thoughts. Completely random, scattered, and probably unimportant to most. But they are mine and today I'm glad they are! Live life and love it.
