It's been a long time since I've done a blog. I'm not completely sure why, most of my writting these days is done in my jounal. I'm sure most don't even check my blog any longer. But for those who do I guess you'll be pleasantly surprised =) The last month has just dissapeared leaving behind a dust of great memories. Christmas and New Years where great, it was the first time in nine years I had the freedom to do whatever I wanted. As the last nine years I've been employed with Safeway and have always worked through the holiday season. And of course every toast and every gathering was a celebration of life and health...the most important things to celebrate.
I moved again at the beginning of January and spent the first part of this month settling in and making it home. I painted, bought new furnature, and decorated. It feels so good to be done, I feel like I'm home now and I don't have to go anywhere for a while.
I go back to work in 10 days! That's right, after 11 months of being off it's back to the grind. Now that things are slowing down I feel like I'm ready. I am amazed at how well I've been able to fill my time though. I once thought I'd be board if I didn't work, but no...early retirement would be just fine with me. I picture myself in some tropical paridise in a big, bright, beautiful house. Full windows over looking the crystal blue ocean. Each morning I'd start my day on the soft sand, watching the white tipped waves roll up on the beach, as I breathed through a yoga practice. But for now I'm perfectly happy running along the seawall in the beautiful Vancouver rain.
