Incandescence

The other day I was perusing the internet and stumbled upon an article about the White Cliffs of Dover in England. I was immediately intrigued. I'm not an adventurer--I like to stay within my sphere of comfort. But every now and then I get tired of staying still, being in one place. Not seeing things, doing things. I want to go spend time in England. I want to come back with stories and memories. The White Cliffs are just the beginning ( See the cliffs here ) I also want to go to  The Lake District . Also, if I'm going to go all that way, I might as well hop around a little...here is a list of places to visit in  Scotland . I could go on and on. I don't want to just dream and never actually go. I am going to go. Sometime soon hopefully. Any suggestions of places to see over there? Any places you would love to go see? Don't wait. Go.

So I open a new tab and browse the web, or I go to iTunes and find some music to 'inspire me', or in most cases I close the blog screen and think 'another day when I have my thoughts in order'. My problem is that that day will never come if I wait for the perfect idea, the brilliant subject; the important things, the things that really matter, do not come easily. This is something that we discussed (albeit briefly) at bible study--that relationships do not progress without work. I feel like this has been a recurring theme recently. I had lunch with a friend and we were talking about all the friends that we do not keep in touch with anymore. People that we thought would be 'friends for life'. It is hard though, when your lives drift in different directions. But what is even more...
