July Unwind

Once again, it's hard to believe that another month flew by. The month of June was another whirlwind experience which in many ways, was one of the most awesome times of my lif. But on the down side, it's also been so busy that I've barely had any chance to sit down and unwind at all.

At this very moment, as I'm scanning through my personal "blog notes" file where I scratch down ideas and thoughts for blogs, what I see are a lot of half-written entries scattered throughout the past few weeks. I have literally not had the opportunity to finish one single thought, before something else pops up and diverts my attention to the next thing.

As someone who really loves to take time to reflect on life as it happens, I do feel a little bit dissatisfied with the lack of opportunities to do that lately. Hopefully, I can still complete some of those entries and post a few of them here sometime soon, but for now, I'll let Taylor do some talking:



Never would have expected to get this from a country music song titled "Tim McGraw", but I really love some of these lyrics. Another perfect example of words capturing that certain unique feeling:

"September saw a month of tears
I'm thanking God that you weren't here
to see me like that

But in a box beneath my bed
is a letter that you never read
from three summers back

It's hard not to feel a little... bittersweet
but looking back on all of that
it's nice to believe

that when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
the one we danced to all night long
the moon like a spotlight on the lake

when you think happiness
i hope you think that little black dress
think of my head on your chest
and my old faded blue jeans

when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me"
