I love

the words of the Lord
the sound of the ocean
the smell of the grass just after the rain
dancing in the isles
that song that penetrates me to the core
the way brown looks so good on him
the sunset at Torrey Pines Cliffs
the sound of my moms voice
the mystery of HIS presence
my brothers ability to make all things funny
creating whole story lines in a dance
learning about you
laughing til I cry
having the freedom to be me
the ease of that freedom with my best friends
forgiveness
lilies and tulips
pushing myself to the next level
the power of words
spontaneity
mangoes
Africa in the fall
that the list keeps on going...

Adventures in a new city

Well, Ive officially been in Nashville for about a week and things are good. Ive been getting settled into the time change, the new house, new streets and sites to see. I've gone to several Mexican restaurants and am surprised to say that it ain't half bad. Now granted I can only have corn tortillas and carne asada but its been good nonetheless.
Today I ventured out and went looking for houses and apartments that Rene and I might be interested in (for those who don't know Rene is moving out here with me, she'll be here in August). I got lost in a few neighborhoods but found one of the most beautiful homes and it had a red door! Unfortunately it wasn't for rent. :(
Then I went to the gym, which was UH-mazing, and made some friends there. I don't know if its just that people here are that much nicer then Californians or that I'm putting out a "I'm new" vibe but I have met people everywhere I've gone these past few days. I love it to say the least.
I start my new job this coming Monday which should be great. I really enjoy the people I'll be working with there is one lady there whose name is Joyce, she is the sweetest lady, she just reminds me of my grandma and I feel at peace around her. So I'm excited to say the least.
Anyhow just thought I'd give a minor update. Hope all is well in your part of the world.
