I like blogging versus going on facebook, because i feel a freedom in being different than the pack. It is sort of my own personal one up on facebook, like no facebook, im not gonna fall into your temptation just because i am on the internet does not mean i am going to go ahead and check my facebook. I am trying to keep it at a once a day occurance. Anywho...
I had so many good thoughts flowing through my head today. A bunch of them was when i went running on newports shores. So breathtakingly beautiful i couldnt believe i was actually there. I had such a great run, enorphins skyrocketing. Havent felt so winded ever since cross country races back in the day- or two years ago :). I was just running to the Ruby's pier (the newport one today) and looking at the sand as i was running- the shells along the sand trailed the shore like a man made dirt trail, except this was totally natural- made by the ocean itself. It was so beautiful. Also, there were tiny little seagull sandbirds- babies just waddling along with their webbed feet, a bunch of them today. I had never seen that many in one day before. I got to watch them plat along the whitewash and then, sometimes, when they were walking toward the whitewash on the sand, just before the water was going to hit them, they would fly up over it and sail jsut slightly right over the water. So amazing how God makes such beauty. It was something that is normally just an aspect that is overlooked, but I was able to actually appreciate that one thing, and then thinking about how intricately made this world/life is and how we overlook the beauty so easily. Such a blessing to see the beautiful creations that God has made. I ran from pier to pier and back, jumped in the ocean which was so liberating and majical. After I jumped in, I got to just sit, called Cassie which was amazing convo, and then just stretch and meditate, soaking up the view. greatness. Sometimes I write about every inch of my day, because looking back in my journaling is fun to read the intricate details, but most of the time I dont feel the need to write down where and what I do in every single part of my day. Just the things I find of importance. Like eating with my mom and brother blake at Cafe Rio- was BOMBSKIES amazingness! Fresh homemade flour tortillas, and slow cooked pork barbacoa tacos- mmmmmmuah so freaking delicious. If I ever went there on a date, it would be with someone who wouldnt judge me on the fact that i look like a cavewomen who eats for her whole family in one sitting. yes, mayb not that bad, but im a messy eater when it comes time for chipotle, or cafe rio. After that, I went home and found myself watching tv..which i hardly ever do unless something looks appealing on the food channel or its desperate housewives, but tongiht i found a sick documentary on jeff bridges. Kay, he's now #5 on my alter ego's list. Hes The Man! Such an amazing talented guy- found out he is also, beyond actor- an amazing artist, musician, and father. I love the roles he picks out, and the fact that he lives in Santa Barbara and is originally a surfer boy from California..adds to my love for him. It was really inspiring to watch this because of how close to home it hit for me...got me thinking about my freakin future again and how much I want to accomplish, and be in pursuit of my dreams. Jeff said his mom always told him when he was about to go on set- "have fun, but dont take it too seriously"- that has been my motto lately in the past 9 months or so.. to not take life too seriously and to remember to have fun. Jeff just finished the movie True Grit- hes like 60 years old now and he still was laughing about something fun they did on the set- He loves what he does and it still makes him thrive- I want that when I am his age. I just have to keep thriving always- and not worry about the things I dont know yet- or cannot control yet- but worrying is healthy a little bit when you are thinking about the things you can control. That is EXACTLY what I have to keep telling myself. :)
