HELLO BLOGSPOT!

I find myself fascinated with sunsets lately! I am gravitated towards those mystic purples and pinks, yellows and oranges, all swirling together, as if God has cast his large celestial paint brush against the sky creating this oh-so-perfect masterpiece… like SOULSHINE! It’s getting to the point where I can hardly drive home from work in the evenings because I’m too busy staring off into that captivating sky-line. A thought I shared with my mom on the afternoon commute yesterday….. BIG NO, NO. Her maternal instincts kick in, and I instantly get the “you could accidentally drive off the side of the bridge” talk. Valid point, I will give her that! To ease her worries and ensure the safety of other motorists (as that seems important also) I reduce to quick glances at this gift from God – a perfect way to end the tiresome day. This soon leads into a free-flow of thoughts and I find myself reflecting on life. Where have I been? Where am I going? And on, and on! What magical power does this sunset possess, that it can force me into self reflection at a moment when all I want to do is push the entire world out of my mind?

At any rate, here I am…. driving and self-reflecting.

As I ramble on, to myself, I realize that I need an outlet. Not a voice on the phone or chatting over a bottle of wine (although I do L-O-V-E both of these activities) but a place of refuge where I can release my thoughts freely. No personal contact! Just me in an empty room, fingers to the keyboard. So here I go! This is me! A twenty-something lady, eagerly working to discover my place in this world, and HOPING that somewhere in the mix of all these words, I will get it right!
