I do love the fog, and I do love going out for nature walks, and I do love to feed the tiny sparrows and chickadees on my deck that come to find an easy meal. I fight sometimes to find things to feel uplifted in my day....
Some people fight with winter depression. I used too- a few decades ago, but through my faith, I was healed from that. But I can still feel ....well BLAH! It doesn't last long. The trick is to keep moving and take my focus off any negative feelings.
I've decided that between now and my next birthday in April, I am going to tone my body a bit more to get as healthy as I can. ( yoga..ouch-ha, and my exercise bike and a little weight training)
I plan on doing some in country traveling this summer. I've hooked up with some family and friends to make it a sweet personal fun time for me. I used to go on exploring weekend vacations with my kids when they were young. We would just load up essentials and just pick someone to decide which direction we were going to drive and see where it would take us. We would always try new roads and places.
I intend on making this a vacation to do some new, out of state exploring. Some things are planned....something's I'm going to leave up to wherever the day takes me.
"AN ADVENTURE"!!!!!
-that's what my summer is going to be.
Life is an adventure to some extreme...but this one I'm taking....this time, will be on my own. This will be the first time in my crazy upside-down life, that I will be going on by myself! I will be taking no stragglers with me! -Ha.
This way, I will have the opportunity to adjust my schedule and even extend any part of it if I so desire. This will be my chance to fly and be free for a while. For when I get back home, I will be tightening up my bootstraps and buckling down to get back to work and figure out where my path wants me to plant roots-for once in my life....I'm determined to become a tree and grow in one place. Not sure where that place will be now. Maybe right here in Newport, maybe in a different part of Oregon or a different state??!! It's not for me to know at this time. It's for me to discover.... over this year or two. It's a "knowing" I have. It's part of my life's adventure. Sweet for me!
I also decided that before my birthday, I'm purging clutter from my home. Not useless stuff, just earthly stuff that I have no more need for. Someone else can benefit from it. I want to continue my life- light in all aspects. I want to refocus on what really matters in life...people.
People, like family, friends and people whom God puts in my path. How much fun and love and care can we share. I want to make as many people as I can feel better...smile...hug...laugh...loved....and just get a good ole deep cleansing breath after spending time with each other feeling the release peace.
Think about how you want your "rest of your life" to be. If your truly not happy where your at -change it-do something different for your betterment. Have something you truly want to look forward too. Hard work done with a happy and positive heart will get you blessings you never thought obtainable...think about it...are you really truly happy with your life? If not, what's missing? Don't be afraid to live. Think, pray, ponder, get out of your own way. Life is so much more than "weathering the blues"..
Until then, have a little laugh- Love those minion goofballs
All in good fun~
~Peace out~
