friday keeps passing me by…without an affirmation.
so here i am to make it up. i found this floating somewhere in the internet abyss:

my days are filled with the amazing amount of stuff i need to get done. but, surprisingly, the thoughts don’t overwhelm me. though i do sometimes think i am not doing enough or getting enough done – i believe this is same way of being that allows me to get lots of things done. i push – myself, on through, to the next level.
but this thing that pushes me keeps me from relaxing. keeps me from stretching. keeps me from stopping to notice, observe, and write about the things in life that i find interesting. but i tell myself, “all in due time.”
i can tell you the things that made me happy to be alive today:
-beautiful fresh produce surrounding me in the wee hours of the morning.
-fresh missouri figs.
-sweet watermelon.
-sweet corn.
-juicy tomatoes.
-plump white peaches.
-kittens.
-motorcycles.
-bicycles.
-heat with little humidity.
-friendly people.
-the amazing community in and around local harvest.
and i learned that sometimes you have to trade somethings for other things.
