Finally, a week away from Leadville. To mountain air ( yes I know, Leadville has 10,500 ft of mountain air) but I'm tucked away in a mountain town just waiting to bloom for summer. My grandparents are finally back in Colorado and I swear my heart lightens more when they're around. Maybe because my closest relatives are thousands of miles away with no thought to visit. The house is beautiful with views into the depths of the snow covered forest to the tops of the rocky mountains. We've been seeing elk and deer, no moose yet, and no pictures but I'll snap a few on the next encounter. I bought some parsley seeds to start my own on the go mini garden-that's what my grandparents call it because they grow them in tiny pots or cups and their always moving so it's easier than giant pots or the obvious, garden. I'm excited to bring something to life and watch it grow. I thought having an animal would bring me joy-just the simple fact of caring and nurturing for something-then my grandmother mentioned growing a plant and it just made sense. Plants are prettier to look at anyway :)
On another note, a friends grandfather has past away this week and it brought a lot of thoughts and emotions to me even though I had no relation. I don't think that matters much though. Just the though of one day I'll be in his exact shoes, dealing with the death of a grandparent, two at that, just kills me. It made me think about God and praying. I prayed for him and I haven't prayed since I was a kid and it was my nightly routine. I won't go on a shpeel about how I feel towards the whole religion idea-but I hope whatever is out there is watching over us and guides his grandfather safely to a more peaceful place.
I am however excited and terrified for the future this year will bring. I'm hoping this year is the deciding factor in the life I'll lead for a while. I guess we'll see if love or "life" conquers the heart.
Sweet dreams. <3
