Moonlight and ever encompassing ' Wild'

I treated myself to an end of the year movie- I chose to see Wild with Reese Witherspoon; shot I believe mostly in the state of my beloved Oregon. After it was over, I started my late night walk home in the freezing crisp air. It went from sunny and mild here on the coast to brrrrrr 'where's my sweater and scarf!' I was bundled up, thankfully, in my feather lined parka with the fluffy edged hat flipped over my head and half of my face- trying to keep my shivering to a minimum.
Getting close to home I had an exchange of "wow is it cool enough for you?" with my neighbor who had temporarily stepped out for a smoke. I decided to pull my hat off so she could see me better and proceeded to get closer to my own front door, hands crammed deep into my pockets.
Something made me stop in my tracks and gaze up into the dark sky. It was the most beautiful star studded piece of universe I have seen in a long time. The moon was in full mystical romantic glow.

No artificial picture could have captured its splendor.( but I tried miserably)....

My eyes gazed upon so many bright stars gleaming in the moons light and all of the world just went silent as I basked in the moments that were all my own. I was filled with awe and a sweet kind of peace. My space was quiet...or maybe I just shut out any noise or existence. Time stood still for me....this was my time...my moment....

I forgot about how chilled it was outside for just a few minutes although my breath was white and billowy warm flowing out of my lungs and into the winter air. I wish I could find these kind of moments at needed times of my life...maybe I shall look for them in the new year. I feel the need to  stop and stand still in a moment...that wondrous moment that I can see what no one else is able to drink in with their souls at that very second.

 I cannot wait for this new year to come sweep me up- carry me on its wings and fly me to new highs. Do old things in a new way...step up to make life a whole lot more fun and adventurous ..see what kind of wonderful positive mischief I can get into! ( I'm counting on my 'tribe' of friends to help out with that part this coming year, hehe..wink- wink!)

Goodbye 2014, its been a ride I wont forget. A time I reflected on life and my spirituality. A time I found more inner strength. A time I reconnect with people Iv loved and had fun with. A time when I could smile, laugh and mean it! A time I could start to love myself again. A time I realized love for others.

 I didn't need to 'find' myself'...( I despise that saying ugh!).. I was never 'lost'.. I was just on the shelf while I attended to the world around me most of the time. It's time to take me down and play with me! I'm laughing at the sound of that because it sounds so silly and outright fun!!!

Peace out ya'll

here's thinking and saying goodbye to the past~

...haha, Oh how dramatic!-Right?!
