Mietzke's POST Holden Adventure

I walked down the road today with some of my favorite village women. Each of us decked in warm coats shuffling through the new snow we were given last night. As we walked I could feel myself loosen.. I needed to run, shout, burst. I have had this feeling this tightness bound up inside of me all week and nowhere to unleash it. As we walked I began to run and jump and rolled snowballs and as I tossed them in the air, or at a friend and my tightness dissipated. We laughed and talked and acted silly. As we walked and the sun poured down on us through the branches of the trees and I felt lucky. Lucky to be thirty five, to be walking down the road with women who love me in my joy and in my weakness. In my laughter and my brokenness. It seems silly that a walk could set things right, but it did.
