we make plans

A quick run with the puppy turned into over an hour jaunt through the woods. Apparently I have a terrible sense of direction. Despite the fact that Dallas is now making tired eyes at me ("why'd you drag me along for that mama?") I was thankful for the fresh air and activity. Its been a far too busy summer and I've been in a funk.

Life is not linear. I am not where I expected to be at nearly 26 years old and sometimes it is hard to remember that I'm where I am suppose to be- even if I didn't know it when I was making plans at 21. Its a joke that we make plans, you know?

And so I need the reminder to be thankful- thankful for a body with which to run through the woods, thankful for the tired puppy at the end of the leash, thankful for the long day of work that preceded.

This weekend I have the chance to spend time with my mom and sister, and to celebrate my dear mother's birthday. Oh, there is so much to be thankful for. Happy Friday.
