From the Balcony

My deck has one amazing view! Some would disagree, but I like it. I especially like to come out on warm summer nights when all is quiet. I do live on a fairly busy street, but even the traffic flow does not bother me. Amazingly enough, I can see the stars out clearly. I can see the mountains with the sunset colors behind them. I even enjoy the many post lights that are around my neighborhood. It makes it feel very Pleasantville. The only sounds I really hear are crickets chirping, and air conditioning units humming. That may not sound peaceful to all, but I like it! The loudest sound is coming from me typing this entry. I do a lot of deep thinking out here by myself. I think about life and where God may be taking me next. What will He have me to do tomorrow? Will tomorrow be better than today? Can I make it through these changes happening in my life? I remember my dad. I go back to memories of my childhood. I wonder who will be the next person to call or text me haha. Silly things. Should I go inside and have ice cream? What can I wear those new shoes with? Should I change my hair AGAIN?! Point is...there is something to be said about going to a quiet outside place where it's just you and nature. Your mind can be flooded with so much, yet some nights I don't think of anything. Yes, I am a woman and sometimes I do not have a single thought, go figure! Just thought I'd share a few words from the balcony :)
