Reflect...

One of the things I really enjoy doing in my life is being near bodies of water. Ocean, lakes, whatever it might be. I find such peace when I am standing on the shore line and looking out over the vastness of the space.

In college I went to school that happened to be right up the hill from a large lake. I use to visit it before I ever attended college due to my brothers being their before I was. But I remember just having such a peace anytime I'd just take a moment and take it in. It was peaceful. I miss it! (A lot) I remember one night my freshman year of college a group of my friends had gone over to my brother’s house-which at the time was living on the lake. It was a small house-I think three rooms, one of them being the bathroom. But that's what made it fun; we thought it was cool at the time. My brother was out of town on business and had told me I could stay at his place for the weekend if I wanted. So I did. My friends came over and we hung outside because it was one of the most beautiful fall nights I can ever recall in my life. That same weekend one of my best friends from high school also was in town visiting his sister. Up to that point he had been one of the closest friends in my life. I remember sitting at the edge of the lake and we talked about life, what we'd do with our lives and I remember sitting there and having such peace about how my life would be, how it would all turn out. Surprising if I would have been shown a video of my life to come how I wouldn't have felt that way.

I reflect on that night often, it was one of the most poignant nights of my life and there really wasn't any big reason why. It just was. I miss not being close to a body of water and I find myself longing to go back, to have that again....

All in due time....all in due time.
