“To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour.” — William Blake

Michael and I went over and had dinner at Dottie’s home this evening. We had tacos and a good time. Of course Mother Nature had to come give us a little visit and a decent thunderstorm rolled through, snapping some branches and scaring the neighborhood pooches. It was a really nice change from the 100 degree weather that we have been having lately.

My friend recently split up with her husband of 21 years and she is back on the dating scene. She is seeing a nice man who treats her well and is spontaneous about love, in my mind that is all I can ask for in a relationship. To be treated with respect and to live for the moment. I feel I have that with Michael.

Michael and I left a bit early since we have been up since 4am (Michael has been working early this week) besides, we will be going to the Lavender Festival with them on Sunday. We took a bit of a detour on our way home of course, to look for storm damage. Didn’t find too much other than fallen branches but we did find some amazing sky views. Nature is my greatest teacher, She shows me how beautiful and simple life can be.

Life is too short for me to let moments of spontaneity slip by unappreciated. I try to remember to live in each moment, good or bad, so that I will never meet the day that I find my life has been in regret. I want to say that I was there. I do not just want to stay inside the yellow lines of the highway, but rather I want to make sure I explore the back roads.

It is about the journey, not the destination.
