I love the woods, and while I like being there with other people, there's something about wandering through the trees alone that feels like a luxury. I had the opportunity to go on a short hike by myself last weekend, which is not something I ordinarily do, but I've been dating one of the park rangers at this particular park and since he wasn't worried I wasn't worried.

Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up (Live in London)

Love the spirit of this song.

Discontent

I haven't been posting much because I've been going through kind of a rough time...not a crisis but just discontent with where my life is at right now. I had hoped to be further along in my education and career by now.Lydia is reaching a more independent age where I no longer strictly define myself as a mother.

I take this discontentedness as a good sign...one that simply means it's time for a change in my thinking or environment or maybe both. It doesn't make for good blogging though.
