Dreaming

Well it's been a long time since I have had a chance to write so I'll get right down to it. I am totally slacking on my jogging since the weather got colder. I have been getting up at a later hour and spending time by myself drinking coffee and writing to start off my day and then I get dressed and head off to work. In the afternoon I am trying to get home at a decent hour instead of 7 or 8 pm, but I still don't feel motivated or rested enough to go work out in the evenings either. It must be because it is my time of the month. The 1/2 marathon is 2 weeks away. I still have to raise $1000 otherwise it will come out of my account. Well, I shoulda gotten out there a bit more. I still had a good time though. And I did something completely outside of my usual character. Another way that I am being outside my box is by venturing out to do things alone. I am energized by the outside world, people, things, and activities. I thrive off of interpersonal interaction, but lately I have felt lost and believe I need to be by myself to think things out. My inner introvert is awakening. I am going to go camping all by my self in a few weeks. I am going to take my tent and provisions and hike to a primitive camping spot. I am going to pack my lounge chair, book, notebook, hat, sunglasses, and ice chest, hike 6 miles to the summit of Enchanted Rock, and spend the afternoon reading, writing, and meditating. I am enjoying my job, but really miss traveling. I need to find a way to do what I do in an exotic location. Or at least have a plan to visit one in the summer. I am hoping to go to the BVIs this summer. The only problem is that I want to go to LA during Christmas break and don't think I have enough cash for what I owe to LLS, LA trip, and BVI trip. Maybe I should get a second job....wishing you the best year ever....Mel
