a simple kind of free

"Nothing to do
Nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do
No one but me
And that's all I need"

Last night in Oklahoma there was a thunder storm. I have always loved Oklahoma thunder storms, because the lightening is breath-taking, the calm and humbling thunder, the smell of fresh rain, and the cool, calm light breeze after it's all over. Before it got real dark, there was a gorgeous sunset. I had to take pictures. I could not get over how pretty it was. I'm pretty sure Oklahoma has THE best sunsets. As I was driving home, I decided to roll down my window and turn off my air-conditioner. The weather was perfect. The music I was listening to was perfect. The lightening in the distance was perfect. Everything about driving home was so, "free" feeling. I felt like I didn't have a worry in the world.

and every sunset will see you that much nearer the goal." --Elbert Hubbard

"And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain,
there would be no rainbow." --Henry Wadsworth longfellow

Just as free, free as we'll ever be." --Zac Brown Band


Well, Saturday I will finally be in the best place...the beach.
I finally get to have a week, yes, a whole week, to get some color on my white, pale, Rexburg skin. Yeah, I'm excited.
Laying out, relaxing, Coneheads (a local restaurant), boogie-boarding, snorkeling, sandcastles, pictures, shell collecting, running on the beach, waves, soccer on the beach, beach house, and best of all, making memories with my family.
Bring it on.
