so so so so so so so many things to write down, don't know where to start. so i'll start with a list. what little moments add up to big moments to make it all worthwhile?
1) finally having a cup of joe and not losing my noggin when imbibing
2) a mama bear and two cubs within grunting distance
3) remembering to write down the little and the big dreams, the near and the far
4) being cut off from the internet for good long stretches of time
5) realizing how much i need to get outside this summer and hike like my pants are on fire
6) being ok just being me, sometimes/often doing nothing the rest of the time running like mad to keep up with the wee ones who always push me to the brink and keep me young by pushing me to the brink of madness and mayhem
7) being ok with just washing dishes
8) being ok with little to no time to look in a mirror or care whether i took a shower
9) wearing the same goddam pair of crocs whether i am running, walking, hiking, going out to a nice restaurant, clubbing seals (j/k), whatevers
10) buying too many books on amazon
11) riding the best damn amusement park ride i have ever ridden called 'the roundup', ohmygod that thing is awesome, it's a screamfest, it's... like your best dream at night, it's... soooo good. you are strapped into this little spaceship of a tube with a partner and then you are thrust up into the air on an axis and then like a hammer you are thrown down and around in a circle and backwards too in a circle until you don't know if you are coming and going and all you can do is look at the ground and realize you are going to scream your bloody head off just to stop the squealing wheels from churning in your stomach as you dive and smile so wide that your teeth crack open and your partner says out loud, 'lara, i have NEVER heard you scream like that before' and you are proud proud proud.
