i have now lived in my little apartment for two months. too much time has gone by and i need a change. i need to reinvent. it depresses me that i have fallen into a comfortable routine- wake up, go running, get ready, go to work, drive home, clean my house (did i mention i’ve all but been diagnosed with ocd? any type of germ is the enemy and must be destroyed), go to bed, wake up only to repeat this cycle with out any errors the next day. my soul was not created to fall into such regimen. i spent an easy hour sitting in solitude on the top of my roof watching the ocean come in and then leaving. it almost made me miss nashville- (was the honestly typed? yes- hesitantly i admit to it) though i do not miss the dreary winter, but the creative vibe the little town gave to life. it was so prominent you could almost breathe in walking art through the air.
in order to beat my rut, i tied a cloth around my head hippie style, walked a few blocks to city place with my little powershot and snapped a few pictures of the fountain in front of the harriett. garrett brilliantly suggested that i enroll in a photography class. i believe that is just what i need–so now, i will be planning a wedding, postponing seminary for another year, launching a completely revamped small group ministry and starting a photography class in the fall.
