Summertime Wonders

   Ahhhh, it's beautiful. The dark night of winter has fled into the sky. The cold that once held the earth captive has disappeared into the sky. The aspen trees are a brilliant green and Longs Peak makes my jaw drop every day. It seems that the mountains are always changing and finding ways to appeal to one's senses. I love how all the water trickles in small streams around the rocks. The current is like the rich flow of precious stones. Sometimes I just have to stop and stare at the cliffs that once seemed so forlorn and icy during the winter. The Rocky Mountains are changing into a welcome array of visual treats, and the warmth of the sun has left me with a bright sunburn. I love it all.

  So far, this summer is wonderful. It is just the change that I needed. I have moved out, started working 8 hours a day (verses 8 hours of school a day) and my mind and heart are content. I praise God for all the new changes and blessings. As the weather warms, so does my heart. I have discovered so much in just a few weeks and I can't wait for every morning to start (though I do get tired!).
