simple is the best

I'm writing this while sitting in our new hammock out on our porch - i dont think there's a better place in the world than this. We just got back from getting frozen custard and the fire flies are popping out in the back yard. what a wonderful thursday night - why does this get so easily forgotten by confusion and complications of life? i mean, the moment is so good right now and so easily it gets swept away in little things that are vexing or annoying.

why dont we indulge these moments a little more, make a little bit more a part of daily life instead of infrequent snapshots? I feel lucky to have this spot to sit and watch these fireflies tonight, all around the yard. last night we watched the space station and the shuttle fly across the sky, and we kept thinking we saw shooting stars - nope just these little guys doing their part in the shiny night time.

i lose my faith in a lot of things rather quickly, or rather, i falter a lot in believing things will work out. i would love to change this pattern and be able to figure out the good - or trust what is coming even though it may not be here soon enough for impatient me.
