It finally rained today and broke the heat for a little while.

It felt so good that my friend and I went outside just to be in it and enjoy the way the wind felt for a while.

What keeps you going isn't some fine destination but just the road you're on, and the fact that you know how to drive

-Barbara Kingsolver

I've been thinking about this upcoming year a lot--what I want to get out of it and what I want to pour into it--and I keep coming up blank. I can't decide if it's because I don't feel very settled with myself right now or because I genuinely just have no clue what to expect. Barbara helped me out a little and I think for a while I'm going to just breathe and not try to figure things out. Instead I'm really trying to be satisfied with just the fact that I'm in such an interesting part of my life and with the opportunity to enjoy it.
