Premature Imagination

Of course, I had to start my blog with a cheesy, and oddly sexual, pun. "Premature Imagination" refers to the fact that I am dreaming about my California adventures this summer and I still have at least 7 weeks of teaching until freedom is mine.

Even though there is no transition I can put here to make this not seem completely random, I've heard that having a blog improves mood and mental health. So, this experiment is part of my new mission to learn to "take care of myself," whatever that means (if you have ideas about what "taking care of yourself" means, please post a response!).

So, today I was teaching myself how to ride a bike in Tower Grove park, and I felt so, so refreshed just looking at the trees in the park. The most intelligent man in the world, Russell Brand, once said, "sometimes, its enough that there are trees in the world." While I whole-heartedly agree, I also think that sometimes its not just enough, its necessary to have trees in your world, on a large scale. Which justifies my urge to pack my car up with a weeks work of clothes, some dry food and a tent and visit as many national parks on the west coast as I can this summer.

Anybody have any suggestions for places I should go or experiences to be had?

Much love,
Ms. King
