Still here...

I'm still here.  I know.  I know.  It's been almost six months since my fingers spoke for me and, honestly, I don't know why.  Laziness mostly I suppose, but I'm still here.
I realized recently that I'm trying to live in the moment rather than live it through my phone screen.  I'm not taking as many pictures because I don't want to be so busy capturing the moments to truly enjoy them.  My birthday is only a few weeks away.  This time last year I was busy trying to figure out what I wanted this next decade to look like.  Now...now I think I've settled into it as well as I'm going to.  There have been some obvious changes - metabolism is nothing to take for granted, friends - but, that, too, is something I'm slowly adjusting to.  But, mostly, I'm trying to just live as much as I can, as well as I can.  
The three photos above are from the 4th...they are my takeaways from a fairly great day.  They capture the day exactly as I saw it...exactly as I felt it.  I want more moments that keep me from reaching for my phone, and instead, more moments that make me reach for the people I'm sharing them with.  More moments that continue to make up...this life.
