Holidays

Sitting in Calgary – feeling rather removed from my life.
I love the peace and quiet. I love having the dogs and one child as my entire stress load for the day.
The hardest decision is what to make for dinner, and the list of meals for the week is already written down and all the ingredients needed for the recipes in on hand.
Could I live like this over the long term? I don’t know. I do know that my body loves being here. I sleep well. I am eating well. I am drinking lots of water (and it is very warm here, so that is a good thing). I am losing bulk (maybe that is the water), but I don’t know if that is equal to losing weight. Different muscles hurt here than when I am at home. That could be the different table heights, activities, etc.
I miss my Quesnel family and friends. I wonder constantly what I am missing back there. I miss seeing the girls at Sam and Jeff’s. I miss my grandsons at home. I miss the back yard and Stetson. I miss my friends (particularly Penny). I miss Dianne and Shane. I miss seeing Chris.
I don’t want to stay too long, but maybe running away right now is a good thing. I feel like I am drowning at the office – hate to go there. I don’t want to be bothered with everything that is happening there. Whether it is clients, staff or just the office, I want it to go away! I haven’t even checked my email for the office since I left Quesnel over 10 days ago. Man, I hate to think of all the emails waiting . . .
So for now, I will enjoy my week, one day at a time. My goals are simple: help keep the house tidy; make dinners; scrapbook with Daphne and Tara; be quiet. I do want to journal more often – daily preferably. I have a new book about journaling for the soul . . . can’t wait to dive into that one.
I want to be well.
