ok.

i have decided to spend some time alone this weekend, rather than take my day off and fill it with people, like i usually do. i found a little retreat cottage in the woods a few hours north of santa barbara. the space, quiet, freedom, no-time-restraints, outdoor jacuzzi, serene environment is just what the the doctor ordered. i will dust off my bible, pull out my pen and journal, and wrestle with my heart and mind for a few days. there are bright spots and blind spots in this journey.
this is a bright one.
