I sit here today and marvel at how time flies. Is it really possible that today is the 2nd of November? It feels like just yesterday that it was August and I was in North Carolina visiting family and college friends. What happened? I swear I just blinked....
And today, it's chilly, the mountains are capped in snow, I've got my first cold of the season and I'm feeling overwhelmed. It always happens when I allow myself some time to "just chill". I don't feel good, there's no reason to push it, I probably got sick in the first place because my life is always on the go. I rarely make time for myself, and I have no real hobbies. I work, clean the house, go to the grocery store, feed the dogs, vacuum, have a beer, sleep, vacuum again, walk the dogs, shower, vacuum again, go back to work. It's a perpetual cycle and somewhere in it I feel like I've lost all track of time.
There are some friends I haven't spoken with in over a month, a few I haven't spoken with in over a year....how did that happen?
So today, while attempting to take a nap and rest my aching throat, I laid there thinking that I should make more time for myself and the ones I love. It's so hard, when you're 1700 miles away and there is always the pesky time difference that makes phone calls difficult. And why not attempt to blog again? I share some things on the old Facebook, mostly photos and funny things, because let's be honest, people share too much of their lives there. Here, I'm a little more anonymous.
Anyway, these are the thoughts that run through my head. No real big deal, it just sometimes helps to put them down somewhere, somewhere out of my head, so they stop running around and keeping me from napping....
