I started out the day feeling so unmotivated. What else is new?
I don't really know what's feeding this lack of motivation. Is it the taunting list of things I have to do? School work. E-logs. Putting away Christmas decorations. Cooking. Cleaning. Paying bills. Is it all the stress of life? Retirement savings. Life insurance. Student loans. Nest eggs. Work! Or is it my constant daydreaming of all things photography that keeps me away from my responsibilities?
I've never really been one to run away from responsibility, but today, I just wanted to make like Forrest Gump and RUN!!!
When Edward got home from work today, we took a drive over to Malibu. We both had stressful weeks, so it was a welcome adventure. I really love Malibu. It's just far enough out of LA that it's not overcrowded with traffic and pollution (except in the height of summer).
Our drive through the canyon was so beautiful. The yellow glow of the setting sun was spilling over the mountains. We made our way to Point Dume. I hopped out of the car and scoped out the scene. It was unseasonably warm. The golden haze of the sun was skipping over the foliage and the ocean was a silvery blue. It was the most wonderful thing I had seen in a long time.
Being there made me happy. It was refreshing. It was like all the weight and worry inside of me went away with the setting sun.
How does God do that? How does He know the perfect way to renew your spirit?
Amazing.
