Guess what? I took the rest of this week off. About time I use up the millions of hours of overtime. So, today I slept in (well, only til 5am because I am used to getting up 4.5 hours AHEAD), and then had a nice cuppa tea.. bid fiance good bye when he left for work then I went out for a 3 hour bike ride. It was SO nice out today it was fantastic. I stopped about halfway along this long road through agricultural area and stopped and sat in a grassy field for a little break and just felt so grateful for how beautiful it is here and was actually marveling at what a great life I have. Yeah, and you may think thats like bragging or something, but I really realized while I was away how important it is to just enjoy life and all its little and big wonders. I found this pair of wide leg jeans awhile ago so wore them today when I went to get groceries. Not great photos today but you know what? Thats okay with me!!!
So I hope you are all doing well. It's good to be back and I will catch up with you over the next few days. I read a whole novel on my flight home. Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage by Elizabeth Gilbert. Was pretty good!!
I liked that book way more than Eat Pray Love! :) I'm glad you got some time to recharge.

You are so freaking awesome I can barely contain myself. What to do, what to do. Well I can tell you I love you and I am pleased to hear the title of the book you are reading. Sounds like you are Exploring some ways of thinking. That is so cool. I guess I should read this book too as one of your readers also recommended it. I have never heard of it before.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all of your life with us.

And yes, being healthy, having a good job and being able to actually enjoy life are things we often take for granted...so, yes we are lucky...
About my trip, well I relaxed a lot, run a 8km race and made a pb, and bought some things, but no clothes :(
BUT I got some clothes from my mom's closet...almost vintage, stuff she don't wear anymore! :))))))
