learning quickly that who i am now is what i have been, and who i will be is what i’m doing now. i don’t want to be disappointed with my future.

Autumn.

There is nothing in nature I love more than the transtion from summer to winter– when the sun’s angle on the earth changes and, as a result of too little light, the leaves change to yellow, orange, amber, and red. Something about the fresh air and the need for a sweater make me feel so alive–much more so than the gallons of sweat that summer brings. I can tell it’s that time of year now, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. This summer is dead to me. I’m ready to go to the Gorge and hike through this new autumn.

Better

I’ve just decided that everything is better now. Better than it used to be, better than before when it wasn’t good. I like it this way, much better.

see,

you must always work from the inside out.
