Things are beginning to settle in here in Seattle. My mind has been filled with wondering and doubt over the past few weeks, so I decided to park it in "Be Still" land. There really is only so much you can worry about in life, and generally it is about not having control. Seems like this vicious cycle. We don't have control, then get anxious because of that lack of control, then we are left with feeling out of control and anxious. No good. So, sometimes you have to sit back and realize you've done the best you could and you deserve to have good things happen to you. I think that was the most encrypted paragraph I've ever written.
Last week we went hiking at this place called "Rattlesnake Trail." It was absolutely gorgeous. It felt good to have that "huff and puff" that only comes from climbing a mountain. Feeling that cool, clean, crisp air when you get to the top is so, so, soooo refreshing. I love being that high and seeing the world under my feet. It makes me realize just how amazing life is. There is so much unknown; Who made these mountains? Who makes everything tick? What keeps everything moving? So many answers that we endlessly search for. At this moment in my life, I simply want to stand, look out, and be amazed.
