I feel that I am leading a quiet little life these days in some kind of 'in between' space. I'm adjusting well to my new work. Enjoying it. I LOVE the non-commute! I'm learning to live with fewer resources and that is a stretch but it is okay, so far.
My kids are doing well. One is totally launched and the other, while tethered to the ground a bit, is definitely in the launching process. My health is stable. But I still find I am energy deficient.
My exercise routine could use some 'beefing up', revamping or something. While I am loathe to join a gym (AGAIN, for the millionth time) I think that taking some classes might be the jump start I need.
I try to plan weekend activities with friends, but sometimes plan too many 'get togethers' and then sometimes none at all. Working toward balance. I continue to struggle to find balance and to let go of envy about other's life situations.
I long to be closer to my family, brother, cousins, old friends...all on the East Coast. That will have to wait until retirement which seems a very long way off. Can't really imagine packing up and trekking cross country with my two little dogs in tow and getting settled somewhere else! Seems like a daunting and insurmountable task.
Focusing on quiet and simple pleasures - like the glycerine soap making class I'll be taking in March at LACC and the wonderful brunch I shared with an old and dare friend this past Sunday morning.
