fresh air, fresh starts
2:01 PM
the sky is beautiful today; it is bright and frosty and sharp and blue.
i inhale sky.
a hawk soars overhead. my soul soars too, untethered --
i exhale worries and shadow. there's still some worry inside my head; of course, there's always worry --
but we are more than conquerors.
inhale -- exhale --
the earth hums with promise and the sun smiles down on my head.
three hundred sixty-five days stretch ahead, with not a moment to waste.
i smile and let the wind lift my soul, with the knowledge that He will always be by my side.

i hope your new year is filled with sunshine and hope. let's do this, guys!
here's to a wonderful 2017.
yours truly,
grace
