[] my good eye []

life is a circus. so my dog park and nature center mornings help me to be more of me...they are undoubtedly the absolute best.  they revive me and take me far enough from technology for me to relax and think. its wasn't easy after starting my own business to feel like i ever deserved such time to myself, but i've gotten over that for the most part.  my  first few steps are always prayed into with thanks for a healthy body, no aches and pains, no headaches, no heartaches, and from there i usually jump off into the vast expanse of questions and thoughts that are in my heart for God.  You have to do this...walk your sub-div when you get home, the sunsets will be amazing, i promise.  Ride your bike at 8pm on a saturday night, downtown. Or go feed the horses carrot sticks in the nearby field after work.  Take the time out of your day to be connected to the ground with your feet moving.  there is just something about it that causes your brain to really start sorting things away.

Today i woke up and my right eye was really sore.  i had too much to accomplish to even think about what it could be, soon i found myself at work with a more painful eye situation.  Since i work at the hospital, i just ran down to the ER where they told me that i have pink eye...what the what? pink eye or as one of my coworkers said "the dirty kid disease"? yes, conjunctivitis.  since the lab has a strict policy about it, they made me leave work, and I can return on Thursday.  My first thoughts were of how i got it and then my second thought was who have i given it to.  One friend thinks i got it from handling a dead animal, another a dirty microscope at work, while my mom is convinced its the high pollen count. whatever the case, i had the evening off.  I raced to get my script filled and then headed to the lake to catch the sun set. I wanted to leave my phone in the car, but there were some sketchy people way too interested in what i was doing, so it went with me.  I sat on the dock, squinting with my good eye, to watch all of the colors change and the clouds sway.  and it was good.

i am 100% of a few things in life. one of those are how being outside, in nature, is a reminder of Gods betrothment of peace and simpleness to me...hope you enjoyed the read
