Today was a good day.

2. I drank two beers
3. I screamed my ass off during the Red Mountain vs. LA game! Which we won 30-0 :)
4. I layed on the beach and got a tan
5. I walked the beach and got great pictures.

Dust Yourself Off

When I write, I write heavy. I breathe heavy and I feel heavy (emotionally). There's more to me than the skin that covers my body. I see my life through muddy glasses and it only gets harder and harder to wipe off. I can question my every being and never get an answer, even if I think I come close, there's going to be another route that guides me in a new direction. I've fallen so many times, injuring myself and hurting others. I can only say I'm sorry to those that I have hit on the way down, but I promise that one day, I will pick you up when I rise near to the top. I never want to reach the peak. I want to always feel the struggle to get there because then I know I'm alive. To myself, I say that its time to dust yourself off. You just got a little bit dirty.

Background Picture

I took the picture that is the background for my blog out in Mesa during a wedding reception.

Simplify

I've been away from blogging for a very long time now. After being reintroduced to it from my co-worker and friend, Lori, I have decided that I should continue this journey and start all over again. I'm not going to forget the blog that I used to have, actually, I'm not going to erase it. Its going to be a constant reminder of who I want to be and who I am.

At this point in my life, I've decided that its my time. Time for me to explore who I am. However, I thought that I was doing that for a while now, but its all now making more sense to me at this point in time. My first concentration is simplifying my life.

I cleaned out my garage and rid everything that I didn't want anymore and to contribute to the garage sale that I'm going to have next weekend. I am continuing this process by going through my room and shedding the baggage that I don't need and has been gathering as unnecessary clutter. I'm more proud of this task than anything I have done in the past couple of months. Its hard for me to discard things in my life because I attach myself to the most ridiculous things. I didn't even think twice about what I threw away or what I think will sell at the garage sale. Come on now, I'm 25 and I need to come to terms with where I am, who I am right now!

This is going to be a journey for sure. I'm ready to dive back in.
