Life has been a glass full of orange juice, ripe fresh strawberries and dark chocolate. Throw in some chalk, gritty crags and azalea & mountain laurel decorated trails and a bunch of travel...really, it can't get much better...
In the past few months progress has been made in spades including.
- A successful dissertation proposal defense
- Successful completion of final significant course degree requirements and signoff from my committee
- Field work for the summer is set.
Now the project that through the course of two years exposed me to a different way of life turning my compass further west and introducing me to new adventures and subsequent new friends and companions... is almost done. And really, it's looking good.
Speaking of west, my dear friends are
on their way east! I've missed them for the past few years even though we've been in constant touch. I'm thankful to welcome them back. And as they return I find myself following my heart west, to seek adventure and explore - in search of happiness, getting to know someone new yet surprisingly familiar.
It's time to travel and explore, see how much more i can pour into this ever expanding glass. It's time to see where my heart takes me next. The future is unknown, and open and full of options. Perfect.
Butterfly garden at night...Gaillardia.
