Heavenly

Crickets loudly singing their chirping song, echoing through the heat and sliding off perfect blades of grass on a hot summer afternoon. Thermometers with their mercury levels off the chart and you know it’s true as a bead of sweat collects at the nape of your neck. You feel another sliding down to join it in a pool of summer bliss. “Too hot,” you say, knowing you wouldn’t want it any other way. Lying on the grass, a gentle touch from the person next to you tells you that you’re home in a way that nothing else ever could. You sigh as you relax even deeper into the warmth of the day. Enjoying the man playing guitar gently, in an off-hand way that you would love to perfect. The sound wraps around your body and someone starts singing the lonesome blues and heaven is in you now. Heavenly summer afternoon.

Revelations

Sometimes revelations can be the most amazing thing. That “ah-ha” moment that leads you out of something, whether it be your situation or your thoughts or your environment. Other times… they knock you over, like having a brick thrown at your stomach and you can’t catch your breath and your heart is beating so hard that you think people may be able to see it. I had one of those this morning. Not the best way to start the morning. It’s like I realized that so many things that I thought were real and honest may not be. And even I, who analyze and pick apart, don’t always notice.

3 things that make me happy:
- Moments of complete peace and calm and the feeling that everything will work out
- Creating something that I love
- Feeling loved and wanted

2 things I look forward to today:
- Finishing the book that I’m reading
- Letting go

2 long term things I look forward to:
- A new bright and cozy space in a new state in a new house with a new outlook
- Letting go

1 person I am going to appreciate:
- Myself

On another note, I dig Wil Wheaton’s blog: http://www.wilwheaton.net/
His writing style is real and sarcastic and up front. Nice, nice. I like.
