I finally got home from the Keys/Miami at about 10:30 on Saturday night, too shot out to do much more than brush my teeth. After the zonkiest night’s sleep back in my own bed, I woke up about 8 and showered for work. Upon exiting, I happened to look down at my feet; seeing the result of having only been shod in flip-flops or wading booties for a week (and taking only outdoor showers🙌🏻🥰)I was instantly reminded of this quote that blossomed in my brain about 16-18 years ago. Yes, that mud was still there, in both literal & figurative senses. Pretty much been my credo all these years, for better or worse; and somehow it’s worked, in spite of myself. #nevergrowup #growoldnotup #letyourinnerchildouttoplay #tomsawyerlivininastevejobsworld #lastchildinthewoods #floridology Read below for the backstory on this photo, thankfully captured and sent to me by @oracleofdivineideas 😊❤️👍 (at Anastasia State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuUrPatDprr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16txg7rm0rzbs
