I’ve missed you guys.
I apologize for my shady absence, but I was out living
pretty damn hard this past Labor Day Weekend.
And now my body is desperately trying to find normal again,
whatever normal is these days. 6 AM alarms have felt like 4 AM alarms the past three
days, but it was well worth it. Mentally, it was more needed than I could have
ever realized.
That’s not a joke, I promise it happened.
Asking if not one, but almost two nights of
no sleep was really necessary.
Because laying in bed next to my best friends, ranting about
our dreams and our fears and asking the hard ‘why’ questions outweighs any
night of sleep. Because sprinting into the ocean in the dim moonlight, with
nothing between the waves and our skin… that’s living like we were made to
live. And sitting in that sand, hand in hand, watching our beautiful sun start to peak
over the edge of the water and sprinkling sparkles over the waves… that will
knock any amount of sleep out of the water.
The memories of standing in a gas station parking lot the
next day, having my knee scrubbed free of asphalt and sand while tears of laughter and
pain run down all three of our faces. The asphalt that I met at 4 AM on the
way to the beach, in a dead sprint. The lost skin was worth it. The
scars that will form will bring me joy, not sadness.
There was a re-prioritization that happened in my head this weekend,
slowly. My health is so important to me. But locking myself up in my room for 3
weeks straight in order to sugar detox? That isn’t as important as living this
life that is so freaking short. Celebrating the gifts we were given, the
friendships we are blessed with, this amazing earth we live on.
I’m not saying I’ve punted. I’m currently sipping tea as I type
this, absent-mindedly making my paleo-like list for the grocery store. By the
way, we did make some healthy pumpkin bars this past weekend … and ate the
entire pan by noon that same day. They were excellent.

I’ll wrap this up, I could go on forever. I’m so blessed to
have my wolves. I’m lucky to have this life I live, no matter how hard and
shitty it may seem at times. I’m excited that it’s fall, and for what it
brings; both the good and the bad. It’s a season of change, not only as the
leaves color and fall, but within my own life.
Thank you all for doing life with me. I will always try my
hardest to publish my full self on this tiny little domain, hence the
semi-romantic rant I just went on. I’m glad I’m back, I’m glad football is
back, and I’m so, so glad that tomorrow is already Friday.
What are the thoughts on the new layout? Props to my girl Kailyn, she worked her magic pretty dang hard. Get in touch with her if you're looking for a blog makeover.
Cheers my friends.

This is awesome. I'm super jealous of your amazing weekend, especially the cheesesteak for breakfast. Want!!! Love life and have fun :)
ReplyDeleteLove the new layout & am so glad to hear you had a great weekend. I had one of those recently and it was FANTASTIC. Isn't it funny how re-prioritization and growth happen simultaneously when you're among those who 'get' you?
ReplyDeletea) love your new layout, kailyn is the bestest. b) i couldn't agree more on letting go once in a while, glad you had your wolfpack to do it over labor day!
