Heavy

as i left from work today, tiny crystals of hail began to pelt my car. the wind has been whipping through the sound all day. as i drove up highway 99 and crossed the bridge (undoubtedly one of the nicest points of my drive) a rainbow appeared to the right over house dotted hills. by the time i arrived further north the sky was blue and puffy white clouds hung above. the transitional weather is fitting my transitional mood well. i feel as though we are in limbo, the area between change and adaptation. change is never gradual for me. i find that it’s always rolled into one big bundle of occurrences. just more than a year ago it was leaving the corporate world for a more reasonable pace, looking for a new place to live and adopting a dog at the same time. sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day stress and forget that i am living the life i always wanted to. from close up, it’s often a mixture of obligations, wonderful tiny little moments and challenges. from far away, it really is a lovely life.
