inward again My weekend is finally here and I can forget about work for a few days. The tone of my last two entries was starting to get to me and all that I want to do now is just relax. I had forgotten how peaceful my neighborhood is at night. It was so calm as I drove through the freshly snow covered streets near my house. For some reason this seemed like the first quiet night that I have had since I have been back from California and I enjoyed it. I didn't have to be anywhere or do anything. I could just huddle under a blanket on my couch for hours. Maybe slowing things down for the next few days will be good for me. I can let my mind wander instead of trying to be out and about all of the time. Earlier in the evening I stood in the driveway for a few moments. The snow fell quietly around me and it felt good. Everything drifted away. There weren't any questions or worries. All that existed was the snow drifting down from the sky as I looked up. I love those moments in time where nothing matters and I wish that I had them more often than I do.
