little escape

 lately i am feeling pretty heavy. stressed out about all the little things that everyone else stresses about. the little things that constantly weigh in. trying to decide what changes to make, and what to leave be. sleep is hard to come by and i am reliving memories i wish not to, but hope i never forget. it's been a long winter. last year the "seattle grey" didn't get to me too badly. i don't know if there were more sunny days last year, or if i was just too distracted by life happenings to notice, but i swear, this year has been much worse. i am craving a spring. a real sunny, blooming, warm, open toe clogs and cardigans every day, spring. 
 i don't think we are going to get one quite yet, but last week, we had one day. one glorious, sunny, beautiful day. i was so thankful for the little escape to the beach i had with my little pal. 
i am still working through some things, but i think i will be just fine if i can have a few days like this one.
