there's more where that came from...
I started the day with a wonderful reunion with a friend... catching up, clearing up, and just enjoying good company!
Watched the nephews again in the early evening (can't wait to go through the oodles of noodle-eating shots I got!) and ended up at an abandoned lot, that once held a motel, overlooking the beautiful gorge I live in/by...
You can't imagine the amount of burs I found myself laden with after throwing myself into the wildflowers for this shot... in fact, I'm pretty sure it took me longer to de-burr than to get the perfect picture!
...enough already!

So I'm up still (what's new?) reading this amazing article... and I ask myself, 'Are you doing this?'
The sadness in my answer is not simply that it's, 'Not as much as I could' but the underlying reason that drives that to be the reality.
there's more where that came from...
You see, I've actually always walked out such a lifestyle. Maybe that's my love-language. Maybe it's a gift. Maybe it's a burden God has laid on my heart.
None the less... the more I've acted it out, I've gotten the strangest backlash from some. Folks who simply see it as me being "too nice", "a doormat", or even simply "trying too hard". *shrug* Maybe that's true, but it's honestly not at all where it comes from. In all honesty. I've never seen my brain's thoughts so well laid out and explained as I just saw... For now, I'm simply going to take it as an encouragement from the Father to continue on as I've intended from the get-go... without "fear" of any silly repercussions!
The lingering challenge will be to really step it up, and walk it out... even when it hurts, or perhaps especially then!?
