Sounds odd, doesn’t it. Yep. I spent the day in a spa and then walking around with the Lady Talis. This is that taste of the good life that I’ve longed for. It makes me realize how great vacationing can be, but it also tells me what I want life to look like moving forward. I like teaching. I can work that in. I don’t like where I live. I mean to change that. It will take some doing. We are working towards a solution, and will put it in play as soon as our last graduates and we get that full freedom to move on.
I’m really looking forward to the chance to plant roots in a place I feel good in. Sure, where we are does have its moments. In a perfect world we would be part timers and move like birds across the seasons. I don’t know that we live in a perfect world–not so long as we need to work. In the meanwhile we still have our summers. This one in particular has been fantastic.
The blood pressure is lowering. The cardio is going up. The stress is coming off. I don’t have access to a scale, so I don’t know about the weight. I’m still fat, but I am feeling better in my own skin. Just gotta keep going.
Some Thoughts:
- Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “Meteor as heavy as an elephant causes widespread speculation across New England” Imagine what a BIG one can do.
- Not talking about politics doesn’t mean they aren’t happening (and sucking, of course). It does mean I won’t let it dominate my mindspace or wordspace.
