I am a Kentucky mountain girl far from home, perhaps far from the girl years. Still, my heart longs to return to the top of Low Gap mountain and peer off into the distance; to see the hills rolling and tumbling out before me, and the wind ruffling the trees' leaves, causing them to ripple like waves in some immense pond.

Monday's Arrival
Today just so happened to be Monday. It wasn't a bad Monday. Here in Lexington the sun burst through the cold gray clouds to warm the earth and make life feel like it was ready for Spring...already. No kidding. It got up to a little over 60*F I think, if I'm not mistaken. It didn't feel like January at all. It felt more like March or April. And what did I do during the midst of this beautifully warm, un-January like day? I sat inside nursing a horrible cold and feeling somewhat like death warmed over. Yeah, it could've been better, but it will be...soon...I hope.
