just feelin' good

So, I am back - yes I have returned.... at least for one more rant before the crafts start in a few weeks!

I have been spending my time working on lesson plans, collecting research materials, writing, and basically being the little art education graduate student that I should be.

After waves of stress and feeling overwhelmed, I have hit that moment of calm. 

I just feel so happy and content.

The last time I remember feeling this way was during the summer of 2008 when I spent a day on the beach with my best friend Erica. 

We were best friends by the sea, with a waterproof camera.

The ocean was the perfect temperature and felt so good breaking through the surface in our mermaid dives.  Feeling the salt spray after the wave has moved on is probably one of the best experiences in the world.

Even though it was a few years ago, I can still remember how everything about that day felt. 

Now I am so clear in what I am doing, and I am feeling everything, everyday.  

When's the last time you felt everything?
