old-fashioned fun

spent last evening having the simplest fun - went for a little walk around the circle with the family and ended up catching fireflies till it was too dark to catch them anymore. got a jar, poked holes in it and named our 'captor' Larry. we released Larry back to the wild before bedtime but two things struck me: 1) i still have the amazing ability to catch fireflies like a champ and 2) it was one of the most enjoyable, relaxing evenings i've had in a while. gonna do it again tonight.

Is not sure how to go about blogging...is this some kind of stream of consciousness exercise? my own personal open-face Dear Diary moment? i guess i will begin by saying that i have been a bit of a blog-snob over the years...'why is that necessary', etc. but lately i have found that having an outlet to process all that happens to a person can be infinitely more helpful than an hour's intensive therapy session. so i'm giving my voice a platform to ramble, search, criticize, evaluate and hopefully discover all sorts of new truths. thanks for your interest in my journey.
