Yep, I missed last week. Travel madness and a short night's sleep on Friday/ Saturday...and writing didn't happen after I got home simply because I hit the ground running when I got back here. I didn't even get unpacked until yesterday.
Random confessions:
- It's college graduation season. This made me realize that I have now been out of college for more than half of my life. When did this happen?
- I am currently at my greatest "density" of my life. I am not amused with this fact (though at least I've been stable here since January). Don't tell me I need to workout more- those who know me know that I am diligent in my workouts. I do need to stop stress eating, and that's where I'm struggling. I either need to change the behavior or remove the triggers- and while it would generally be healthiest to remove the triggers, I know that isn't going to happen. I'm trying to figure out how to be less of an "ostrich" about these behaviors. It's hard.
- I miss going to yoga. While I've been good about practicing at home, I think it's been a month or more since I made it to the studio. That's a sure sign that my life is a wee bit out of control. Fixing this is also hard.
- I really should listen to Don Henley more. I know, I'm listening to stuff that's more than 20 years old tonight. It's stood the test of time.
And with those confessions, I segue into this weeks TGI...
Today I am trusting that this week's bout of homesickness that I'm suffering will pass. I went years without missing Texas. The last year has been tough on this front, which has been a huge (and at times frustrating) surprise to me.
Today I am grateful for random acts of silliness. I've decided that they are sanity-saving.
Today I am inspired by the fearless, amazing, wonderful, kind, generous people who fill my life and are my dearest friends. I know better than to question how many of us landed in one anothers worlds, but I am SO glad that we did. I am a better person for it.
And with that, it's time for at-home, pre-bedtime yoga. That's something I can fix.
Now listening: Don Henley "Heart of the Matter"
