Reflections

I am at work, but I keep thinking of all the things we saw this weekend. It was a blur for the most part since we crammed so much into a short period of time. Thankfully, we have cameras to help us remember those really cool moments, beautiful sites, and the wonders of God's creations. Seriously, this world is amazing and if I think on how beautiful this place I live in is, then how glorious is the rest of it? Blows my mind however corny you might think me. I love the outdoors, whether it is in the mountains or the sea. Even the desert has it's own beauty. I think we take for granted the simple, natural miracles we walk by everyday blinded by our own immediate enviroment.

Maybe it was growing up the proverbial concrete jungle that made me have more appreciation for it. I dunno... I do remember sitting on the grass at college, and a citified squirrel (of the friendly sort, tame...not a squirrel wearing chinos and a tie. I can just hear my dad workin' me on that one.) came hopping up to me to beg for food. I thought...wow, a squirrel? here? in the middle of the city? huh.

Anyway, I do wish I was still there but I am glad I am here.
