my sisters, kristy's (blue/ and yes she already gave birth) baby shower

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In those choices lie our growth and our happiness."

to breathe in pine. to run along the lake shore. to bake in the sun and twirl my feet in the tahoe water. to let my mind unwind.

and i feel rejuvenated. and ready.
