thinking...

it's been raining, and dreary, and we've been getting lots of bad news lately. not for us, personally, but just all around us. so i'm spending some time thinking... i started looking back through old pictures, and found this one. it's from just about 5 years ago, i was just married, and i was traveling. i was so happy, so much to look forward to, nothing seemed impossible to overcome or achieve. sometimes it seems like everyone's (not only our) lives are so packed with busy-ness that we never have time to just think, enjoy, or just be. gah. what kind of morose blog entry is this, anyway? we're all really very lucky, we just need to take the time to think about it.
