anybody there?


Time to start writing. The beginning is the hardest part, right? Putting it off does me no good, so I'll take the cue from the blossoms in the yard and start a new season.

I woke up in a funk this morning, which is rare for me. It hung around for a while. I tried to shake it, but then decided that I am allowed to be in a bitchy mood once in a while. It really is no cause for concern. A lot of people live like that through most of their days, giving dirty looks to people who dress different than themselves and scolding people who park their cars poorly. Spread that love around.

There really is no profound purpose or goal for this blog I'm starting today. It just seemed like a contructive way to spend some of my free time. It doesn't cost any money, and it encourages me to put my thoughts and photos out there, not that anyone asked for that. I'm just going to give it a shot for a while and see how it goes.

I think there's something to be said for a particular detail in this photo. It was taken in the afternoon, but the moon was out. It makes me think of the fact that every time something new and beautiful appears in my life, I can't fully take my focus off of evidence or memories of the dark times I've been through. Maybe it's a self-protective mechanism of my heart. I'm not sure I like it though. I want to allow myself to experience the good things that God brings into my life completely, without cynicism tugging on my arm. I don't know why I'm spending any mental energy on this matter though. I'm mostly dissatisfied with my life at this point.
