"jump into the darkness of the unknown....."

These last couple months have been a wild ride for me, and i'm continually trying to regroup and process things and find my balance amongst all the chaos. There have been a lot of ups and a lot of downs for me lately, but it feels good to have that instead of just coasting somewhere in the middle. For those of you who heard about dan's accident, he's doing well and is pretty stable. For those of you who don't know what happened, give me a call and i will fill you in. This has been an intense experience and it has reminded me how precious our lives are and how important it is to have people who care about you and love you. Life is crazy and i feel i've seen a lot just recently, but i feel my eyes have been opened and my heart has been opened. I read a quote in anne lamott's book yesterday...(she didn't write it, but was quoting someone else.) "when we jump into the darkness of the unknown, faith lets us believe that we will either land on solid ground, or we will be taught how to fly..." i thought this was such an amazing way to look at life and to look at taking chances. we have no idea what is out there, and the only way to find out is to jump in and have faith that you will be ok. well, i hope that everyone is well and enjoying the change of the seasons. it's getting cold up here, but it feels good.
