a good day...

Today was a good day. I visited some family friends in Colorado Springs, it was such a blessing! It is funny how a couple hours with certain people can energize me so much, maybe less funny and more great! The Springs is about a 2 hour drive from camp, and yes I drove there and back in the same day. It sounds like a long drive, but the drives here are absolutely gorgeous! I just take in the scenery (without taking my eyes off the road of course!) and get to relish in the solitude. It's good thinking time, good praying time, good singing at the top of my lungs time, and definitely good day-dreaming time (again without taking my focus off the road!). I think it is healthy for everyone to get away from the hussle and bussle of society and retreat to a place with unreliable cell phone service, where the stimulation comes from creation and the vibrant colors of the sunrise or sunset over the mountains (or the horizon if you don't have mountains where you are), where the night sky is lit by stars, and the sky is big enough to hold all of your dreams and more. Sound good? Let me know when you are coming to visit!
