I live on a hill, in the most beautiful area I have ever seen. Yes, there are roads carved into it and houses stacked up right next to each other... but then there are trees. Mountains. Hills. Sunsets. I am so tired my legs are buzzing. My house is silent, except for my fingers tapping on the keys of my mac. My brain is aware of .. I don't know how many things. My friend who just texted me, a new friend whose email I just read, the pile of Christmas cake on the counter that I hate, but ate a little of because there was nothing else, and my voice - which is so tired. . . and I wonder if I was mean tonight and yelled too much - but what do you do to people who are goofing around. I want to be everyone's friend... Tired. Peace. Jesus. I am alone. I'm surrounded. I make decisions constantly. I wish I had chocolate cake here. I'm glad I don't. If you were me, what one thing would you change?

Run for Turtles
Today I went for a run.. walk.. walk and stop... a time of discovery with my 4 year old. It was such a beautiful day and I am trying to get out more. Outside. In the sun. With trees and water and dirt... and stuff. Four year olds are great for that. The other day it worked pretty great to run while my little girl rode her bike. When she goes fast, I can barely keep up. When she goes slow, I catch up and find my breath again. It was fun, for a while. And then we saw the park benches - with names on them. Every 20 feet. And she wanted to read the names on them. Then there was a bug on the path. Then there were some birds in a tree. A squirrel. Now we are looking for frogs. The sign says no bikes on the floating bridge, so she gets off and walks. Not impressed though. Other people pass us on their bikes. We have a good talk. And then, there it is. A baby turtle five feet from us. Exciting. And then, oh LOOOOOK!! there are 4 big turtles out there on a log. We stay for probably ...
