It’s August. It must be spring.
And why not! We’re heading into a week of vacation, coming out of a season of redefining “intentional” ( how intentional are we really?). Let’s celebrate renewal … and another opportunity to begin. Today. 
Tomorrow Eldest Son leaves for his road trip back to the U in Portland, and the excitement for the adventure, the tenderness over his departure override all foolish woes. We lift our hearts and cherish the moment. Endlessly Thrilling. He just left the room saying (with his own emphasis) “I haven’t packed a bit and my Jeep has no starter!” Magic, natural growth.
We come through a time of grief, and reset with more intention, more joy and an aggressive, energetic hand-on-the-throttle to seize the moment, use the gifts and live in the element.
