This is a freewrite from a list of beliefs that I had previously
written. This one is entitled I believe that a trip to the river is
necessary. I need this trip because it is very hot outside and I am all
sweaty and breathing in hot humid air. I have the air conditioner
running but it is not the same. I had thought about taking a cool bath
or shower but I know as soon as I step out i will be all covered in
sweat once again. Then all I managed to do was waste water and time. I
like the river, it is soothing. Usually there are not a lot of people
where we go. I could set out a few chairs and a fishing pole or two.
Start a fire, ro ast a few marshmallows. Swim in the cool water, let it
carry me downstream. I can just imagine how good that water will feel.
Bring some towels from home to dry off, sit infront of the fire. Re
apply the bug spray because the mosquitos will be making a snack out of
me. I love the river, its a small spot that we go to . Back in the woods
on a small country road. I have to take the truck because the car would
never make it. Sometimes when the river is up you can't even get to
that spot in the woods. I have seen people try and have e ven helped
pull a few people out of the river because they drove in thinking they
could just follow where the road is and end up on the other side. Too
deep for that though, once it's over the banks its just best to sit back
and wait until it goes back down. Besides water gets up that high and
critters start coming out. Especially snakes, my husband hates them and
would not stay anywhere near a spot he thought one might be or was
recently there. So we know to stay home when the water levels get too
high. In the back of this area that we like to go, there is a bare dirt
spot that is very nice, it is one of my favorite spots to go, it's hard
to get down to the water but the shade is great and so is the view. I
love to set up the tent facing the river and when I wake up in the
morning, fix my coffee over the fire and sit in my chair as I watch the
river in silence. Well not complete silence, you can hear the nature
calls, bugs and the river itself. it is very soothing thing to listen
too. It is peaceful and gives me a head start on my day. I love to hear
my kids stirring around and waking up. Everyone is so happy out on the
river and it makes me want to go very badly. This is a freewrite from a list of beliefs that I had previously

I love the river. We try to go every weekend. This summer it has been hard. Between school, work, and being outnumbered by children it is difficult to do much. We will make it work every now and then though and when we do it is always a magical time.
