Growing Younger

Sometimes in life we just have to stop and look at things through the eyes of a child. I remember childhood as a time when colors were brighter, the birds all sang a pretty song, and imagination was not stifled by everyday affairs. To be child-like is something I strive toward ... not to be immature or irresponsible but to open my eyes to greater possibility, more imagination, and a greater sense of joy and wonder.

Help Me Believe - Nichole Nordeman
"Take me back to the time
when I was maybe eight or nine
and I believed.
When Jesus walked on waters blue
and if He helped me I could too
if I believed.
Before rational analysis and systematic thinking
robbed me of a sweet simplicity
when wonders and when mysteries
were far less often silly dreams
and childhood fantasies.
Help me believe
'cause I don't want to miss any miracles.
Maybe I'd see much better by closing my eyes
and I would shed this grown up skin I'm in
to touch an angel's wing
and I could be free.
Help me believe."

The Flowers of Anza-Borrego

Happy St. Patty's Day! It was such a beautiful day so we decided to take a trek out to Anza-Borrego to see the beautiful wildflowers that sprouted up all through the valley. This was followed by lunch at the Miner's Diner in Julian and then an awesome night at Hooleys hangin' with amazing people!
