wandering thru life......

life is never ever what i expect it to be.
i thought we were gonna wander back roads of
the state and dream of our future....

turns out we wandered thru several challenges
and a whole lotta emotions and tried real hard
to figure out the present.

at one point we sat outside talkin' about the
biggest challenge. i had a pumpkin spice latte.
i love love love those things....and only have
a few of them during the season....usually when
i drink them, i can't concentrate on much else.
i just love their taste.

but we were havin' a very serious conversation.
i would concentrate and think hard and try to
be helpful and present.

and then i'd sip.

ohmygosh is that good.
oh wow. my eyes would close for a second...
and i'd just feel that taste.

oh yeah.
concentrate, think hard, be present.

and i would.

and then.....sip

ohmygosh.

the entire trip was sorta like that.....

there were sips....sometimes gulps...sometimes
long slow drinks of really wonderful
ohmygosh moments....
and then the concentrate, think hard, be
present moments would happen.

back and forth, back and forth.

i laughed on the way home and commented on
how we can certainly pack a lotta feelings
into two days....

and we did.
there was one feeling that never left tho...
it changed along the way in different forms...
but it never left......

i want to say 'of course...it was love.'
but that's never something to say 'of course'
about....it's ALWAYS a gift.

and that's why we went in the first place.

life is never ever what i expect it to be...
and love never ever ceases to surprise me.
