Today I woke up super late. Like two! I was not happy about it! I told myself the excuse that my body was making more blood that it lost yesterday when they stole some at the hospital. I decided to go on a walk with my dad at about 3. We just talked about my new job at abercrombie (ehh) and he told me some stories about his most recent marathon and I told him some stories about my 120 mile bike ride. It was wonderful.
The simplicity of just walking with someone you love, has the power to make you appreciate even the little things. The weather outside was incredible! I had not realized how much my skin missed the warm air outside until it tasted it today. I do hope the cold stays away, I hate being teased with bipolar weather tantrums. Also the smells outside. My nose has become very accustom to either not being able to smell at all or smelling gasoline or mall people. Today I felt like my nose had a five course meal, The smell of the trees and regrettably the hormonal, shirtless, highschool boys cross country team that passed by us a few times. The smell of the water and humidity. I forget about those tiny joys. As I walked alongside my dad today I praised God for His intricate and most beautiful creation. I am enthralled with the masterpeice He has designed, it brings out a reaction from every part of my being. Only a true artist can do that.

So go outside, dear friends, and praise Him. He deserves it!
