Long road... Jan 10


I possibly just ate the best PBJ sandwich of all time. On my way into town just now, I stopped by the farmers market and bought a loaf of homemade whole wheat bread and Oh my word. It was obviously baked just today, and it is the best whole wheat bread I’ve ever had in my whole life. Ever. It made the whole sandwich like a dream.  Possibly because it’s evening and I forgot to eat lunch so I’m also freakin hungry. But no, really. I kind of can’t wait until tomorrow to eat more of it…

Where I got the bread...
Today was driving. All day. I thought it was going to be 5 hours. It was 8 or 9.  I came to this specific town  because of (1) the gulf coast beach and (2) because there’s a bar here that my friend likes. I’m going to skip the bar tonight because I’ve been in the car so long that I started talking to myself… a lot… and I think I’d be really awkward at a bar right now. So I’ll just wait for the beach tomorrow when it’s sunny and that’ll make this trip worth it.  Today it was 77 degrees outside.  AMAZING. This was my face when I first rolled down the window and realized that:



And this is what I saw all day and why I drank a lot of coffee in the car and started talking to myself in the first place:



And this is the song that I re-played about 5 times trying to remember the words and still can’t:



And these are some of my thoughts about life:

• This is a statement I am saying because of some things I’ve seen over the past couple weeks which has caught me off-guard and got me thinking:  Standing up for what you believe in is extremely important. Not soley because it is important for the things you believe in not to loose your support & passion, but also because letting those passions fall away from you may distance you from yourself.  When I turn this inwardly toward myself, I know that I have allowed myself to go slack in the past year in some of my convictions because I was focusing on different aspects of my life. I do think it was important for me to do so for a time, but if I never get back to acting on those convictions, then I will loose a part of myself in the process. It is sad to watch this happening to those who used to stand so tall against injustices in the world.  It is not too late to try again.  Therefore, I am in the process of trying to re-claim the things I care about and how I want to live those things out.  I’m not going to post them here because I don’t want to be held to my word right now.  So there.

And finally, this is the most steril tiny hotel room with creepy dark mirrors that I’ve ever stayed in (but also the cheapest). My reaction is another indicator that I’d be awkward at a bar right now:
