this the official move-in weekend. the forecast is going to be fantastically sunny. i can't wait to live in this new space, although living on my own has me a little wary, only because i've never really done it before. granted, it's only 6 weeks (6 WEEKS?!?!!?!?) until david joins me, but i hope it becomes a good time of preparation before the wedding. i'm looking forward to cleaning out my junk, downsizing, minimalizing, and taking a little more time to myself before i embark on this big marriage expedition. man, this engagment thing has flown by.
i can hardly sit still these days. the sun is toasty, the breeze is gentle, the blues and greens are vivid everywhere you look. i want to be outside all the time. it gets me so excited for summer. i went for a sweltering run over the lunch hour, and even though my legs and lungs wanted to collapse, my heart wanted to just go and go and go. running outside makes me feel so absolute, so alive, so present. it reminds me that we are more than skin and bones, that we are spiritual beings, and yet we get to possess these earthly bodies for a short while. while we do, we can make choices, and we can choose to discipline them, to push them and train them to perform. i am by no means athletic, but i feel like i've tapped into something that has stretched my character in new ways in this past year. i'm glad i've kept with it.
