the simple life

one of my favorite pictures taken in Oregon

I haven’t been doing a lot of writing, but I have been doing a lot of living. I Graduated. Started a career job. I covered 1100 miles in a one day drive to Portland. I've said goodbyes and I've welcomed new changes. I've traveled.  I've created a home. I've set some goals and realized new dreams. I'd like to think I've done a lot. 

In the process of living, I have also been doing a lot of thinking.

I think it’s hard to not get caught in the “what ifs” and “what’s next” questions when you finish one chapter and start another. I’ve have only been asked the “So what are you going to do now/what is your plan?” question 3402473832 times since graduating college.  I don’t blame people for asking, it’s really a great question. A new blank chapter is beginning and there’s a whole lot you can fill the pages with, so it might make sense to think of some kind of outline.
