I just got home from work and I'm in kind of a surreal mood. Everything is fine. Don't get me wrong. I've just had a couple of pretty crazy weeks at work and I feel like I'm finally coming down. I'm sitting on the porch swing outside and just trying to take in all that is around me. The rose bushes out front are full of beautiful pink roses and they almost seem like a miracle. We never water them and they look perfect.
I want to get more involved in something. I just don't know what yet. It's hard in the kind of work that I do find time to volunteer, but I want to find something that will be meaningful. Not that my work isn't meaningful. It definitely is. I just need something other than work to delve into to. It seems like everyone I know has hobbies and is involved in something. Maybe spending some time volunteering at a shelter or something like that. I also have been trying to work on activities that assist in allowing me some time for myself. I've been going to Monday night yoga with my fabulous neighbor for some time now and that seems to help, but I've had a hard time focusing on time at the gym. Since we got the puppy it's been hard trying to justify time at the gym. When I'm gone all day I want to spend some time with him. I know I will work it all out. It will just take some time. I can't even imagine what it would be like to add kids into the mix. Gahh. I don't know how people do it.
Well, I just heard my hubby and puppy pull up and I need to get my puppy fix!
Hope y'all are having a great night!

ReplyDeleteBuddy, I know what you mean. I feel the same way too. It feels like I'm kind of at a standstill: career is ok, but I feel like I could do more. When I went traveling for 3 weeks, I met so many cool people, saw so many places, experienced so many journeys...and then I come back to the regular grind. There's so much out there! I think you can't think about it: you just have to do it. Pick one thing and go for it. Best way maybe to just start small. For me, it's as simple as reading a book. Like really. Read a book. Come on Keith!! Once you accomplish one small victory, you keep moving up! I think as humans, we're so used to routine. It's hard to break out of it because we're creatures of habit and we like having a safety net. Cut that safety net! Live a little I say!
