Living without restrictions.

I don’t know what it is, but there is something lately about the people I meet... and what they bring to my life.

It may be for a short while... or a long term friendship... there are so many amazing connections that seamlessly fall into place...

Making me more complete of a person.

Today is no different....

To spend the day hiking with new found friends was awesome... just relaxing and laughing.... seeing the beauty of the trail. Having someone to share that experience with was so refreshing....

There is a connection made in the running circles that is so effortless...

A group of people with the same passion....

A common bond that ties us all together....

The words I felt over Christmas... the longing to love people without restrictions....

This is reality...

And as I spent the day just being embraced by friendship I now understand.. this is a freedom I long for....

In my resentment of the restrictions placed by work I have forgotten the key element... to love freely...

I have a gift to love each of my crew and co-workers without restriction... thus fulfilling the deepest elementary need... the need to be loved and cherished...

To belong....

I create the walls that surround me...

And I can bring them down....

I can feel as free as I was chasing that desert trail....

Teasing and laughing with two new friends....

I can have the freedom of the heart replace the chains of the structure....

I can make a difference.
