IRL: Summer Begins


  • Quiet days at the office...
  • Reading Pilgrim's Progress, Hinds' Feet on High Places, Captivating, and To Kill a Mockingbird...
  • Long-distance book clubs...
  • Arranging new songs...
  • Google Hangouts with friends...
  • Beautiful new lyrics stuck in my head all day...
  • Honeysuckle and privet-scented nights...
  • Catching up and talking with little brothers and friends...
  • Planning a weekend trip to my "new home" to order books, have meetings with the pastor, meet (even more) people, and start getting ready for July...
  • Poetry
  • Music
  • Delighted with others' joy :)
  • Solo hikes in the rain
  • Thunderstorms
"There are different kinds of happiness," she said. "There is an exuberant happiness, that comes bubbling up and bubbling out--like Old Faithful. And there's a quiet happiness, like when you're hiking with your family at 5,000 feet. And there's a bittersweet happiness, missing the old and being grateful for it, standing alone in the rain, driving by yourself across the mountains. But they're all happiness. All to be embraced."

It all sounds good – except that there's no reference to River! ;-)
