happy thoughts

adam left about half an hour ago to drive down to southern utah for his premium limited entry archery deer hunt. he might be gone for up to a week. but i am happy for him, while i miss him terribly.

he has been applying for this hunting permit for almost 10 years! of course it comes the year that life as we knew it changed abruptly. of course it comes the year i can't go with him. but when i really think about it, of course it came this year... adam really really needed something great to look forward to. there was a lot of this past 6 months that centered around me and a hospital bed, and the 15 months before that were almost completely centered around tristan and the pregnancy. he needed to have some personal time. i can still miss him terribly though...

at least i have an exciting weekend to look forward to. i can't wait to play with my best elementary school friends this weekend!!! it should be an evening to remember, we haven't spent real time together since about 8th grade. thank goodness for facebook and blogger; i don't know if we ever would have met back up!

until friday, i guess i'll just think happy thoughts, like this one:

up south fork, up the national forest access, up the walking path, past the meadow, up the side of the creek, a soft clearing of grass next to a little pond and the creek, i am laying with my feet touching the ice cold water and my fingers digging into the dark black dirt so i can almost taste the pungent smell of it, the sun is high in the sky above me, there is nothing for me to do but relax and listen to the soft sounds of the water.

what are your happy thoughts? i would love to hear them!

(a friend on facebook asked this today)

*think happy thoughts!*

love,
lynsie
