#82

today was a particularly bad day. mostly sad, a little heartbreaking and entirely unbearable. which means it is particularly important that I find the things I'm thankful for:

1. my church (i've been totally blessed by michael hildalgo's unique, fresh + powerful perspective. every sunday i feel like i could just keep on sitting and listening until the sun goes down. i'd just need some light snacks here and there.)

2. reading the beginning of mark 10: 21 'jesus looked at him and loved him' i've read this story so many times and have never seen that beautiful little phrase. (have you?!)

3. an extra long walk from our parking spot to church because of a race that blocked a major road. i love walking. nothing quiets my mind + heart quite like a good walk. impromptu walks are even better. not to mention that the sun was new + bright and the air was perfectly cool.

in contrast, this was a particularly good day.
(our 1 year anniversary trip to the moutains)

bad days arn't bad. they're just unpleasant.
i made it through and now i whole heartedly welcome my pillow.
