I've done very well this week eating lunches from home, walking almost every day, keeping on top of things. And what are the bigger picture things. What exactly does the best of my life look like? Last night Tim and I were at our favorite watering hole, sitting outside with some friends we have met at that bar. It was a beautiful night and I thought about how lucky we are to be in the USA, having a drink, sitting outside enjoying good company. This is what life is about--enjoying these moments and I wanted more of those. So I began to ponder how to make the best of my life while I was making salsa verde for the family cookout this evening.
I still hope for a job that is a little less intense. I don't mind being busy, but social work is too intense. Still working and looking for that opportunity.
Less of a commute and a more flexible schedule.
I'd like to see some places I haven't been. Yellowstone for one. Return to San Francisco and see the redwoods, maybe wine country. France, Italy, Australia. I'd go back to Hawaii but see a different Island. My ultimate trip is the Maldives---I've seen pictures and would love to see it in person. Plus I'd get to layover in Dubai and I think it would be interesting to see a middle eastern country.
Have a home that's less maintenance. I know a townhome community I'd like to live in that's also beside a walking trail and stream. I need to have faith in that timing of selling Tim's house and finding the right place there. If not there, then some place similar. I'd like to come home to a sanctuary. (of course, convincing Tim we need to live there too! HA! I think it does have what we both want).
Be able to run again. Not run fast or compete, but just run easy and feel good.
Do a mission trip every year out of the country. I really enjoy that kind of travel and supporting developing countries.
These are all doable things. I doing all little things every day, leads to having the bigger things.
