car trips

ya know, i really need to get out more.

i'm runnin' around like an excited kid!
goin' on a car trip.
usually i get so excited, i have trouble
sleeping.
(i still have trouble sleeping on christmas eve!!)

i slept like a rock last nite, thank goodness.
now i've got extra energy to run around like
an idiot and be excited.

i love the kids extra when i leave them. and
i already love them a lot, so that's a lotta love.

so i'm overflowin' with good stuff this morning.
and it feels good!

and then i stop and look at myself and laugh.

i'm driving into some sad stuff. and going to
be dealin' with some sad stuff.
so, why the heck am i so happy???

well, PARTS of it are happy. parts of it are
real good. parts of it are lovely.

bam.
there it is, isn't it?
right there.

life is just like this trip. altho, i gotta admit,
some sad stuff in life hurts more than others.

but there's a ton, ton, ton of parts to it all.
focus is totally important. i know that.

NOT ignoring the sad.
i couldn't do that if i wanted to.....
but definitely seein' the good as i go thru the
sad...and knowing that sharing it with people i
love makes it so rich.

if i could just get as comfortable with life bein'
a car trip as i am with my car trip bein' a car trip,
well...i'd be sittin' pretty wouldn't i??
