YOSEMITE

I spent two days in the natural wonder of Yosemite with my husband. It was glorious and breathtaking. I could live there! Camping in a sense is not all that relaxing. While sitting by the campfire one night I thought I would kill just to have my bathroom here...not the whole house, just the bathroom. It was nice to get away, but stress seems to follow me in the most unlikely of places. Maybe two days wasnt enough to reenvent myself. Here are some of the awe-inspiring views.

This is for you Mary

Today I walked away from the security of a job to the open arms of the great unknown. Since I was seventeen I have spent only 5 days unemployed. Although I may have another job in a day or two the truth is I may not, and to a born and breed workaholic that is quit the feat. Right now I am dreaming of bike rides, camping, farmers market, baking and all the lazy little things I never seem to find the time to savor. Maybe I'll finish the 10 books I have started over the past couple of years. Maybe finally letting go and diving in to the unknown is my saving grace. I am not saying that everyone should up and quit their job, but sometimes holding on is all we have and other times letting go is all me need.

I'm not on an internal trans external quest for the higher meaning to life ( I already know what that is in the general sense) but I am closing a chapter in my life. We'll call it my early twenties. I'll be 27 in a couple months and I still can't knit so I know I'm not getting old, but I am sliding in to my skin a little better.

So here's to my late-twenties.... and those bright red juicy tomatoes I'll find at the farmers market tomorrow!
