It’s a troubling time of wanting to go back.
To anything, everything.
Two of our dearest Missoula friends are in Jackson right now, at the Bike-In Movies:
The poster was designed by moi… which makes it even harder not being there. Talking with Sarah on the phone, telling her where to go around town, I ached wanting to go back.
A gchat conversation between Evan and myself…
I found myself, on this Wednesday, even wanting to go back to Saturday. This past Saturday was ah-mazing. I ran a 10k, went to three different markets, bought only purple and green produce…
And then it was off to a record swap at an ice cream shop… where I got the following:
If you can’t tell, that’s some Paul Simon, Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, and Paul Simon again. Oh, and the DVD of You Me and Everyone We Know. I got it for a dollar at a yard sale on Saturday. Please remember how much I love Miranda July.
I want to go back to Saturday.
And then Lisa [my bff] had to go and post photos from Greece. I die. I ache to go back.
Love.
There was just so much love, so much laughter in that trip.
And as I ride my bike around Missoula, it’s hard not to think about, “what if I weren’t riding to work?” What if I were riding in Italy for the day.
But, no, live in the now! That’s what I tell myself. I have to remind myself that I love what I’m doing, where I am.
I love what I worked on today. I love what I ate today. What I drank today. Where I ran today. Who I laughed with today. Who I laughed with last night. Where I was today. What I read today. Where I’ll be tomorrow.
I love it.
I must remind myself.
Onward.
On to dancing to this song on repeat in the kitchen whilst delving into baking adventures.
p.s. I absolutely love that video. The way he looks when he dances and sings is the way I feel when I dance and sing at my freest.
