A mid-summer day's dream

Well here's my second blog post in 2 years. It's like nothing happened, but everything happened, both at the same time, for 2 years. Hopefully this one makes as much sense as the last one.

Typing is sure a lot easier than writing with a pen, and easier to read afterwards too.

Anyways here we go.

Ideas in my head these days include:

1. what to do with my time from day to day. Currently:
    - exercise. yoga, running, cycling, weightlifting
    - planning for travel/trips
    - random surfing and generally wasting time playing with myself

    I could definitely use more structure and day-to-day goal-setting. Maybe once summer is over.

2. what kind of person am i now, and am i happy with that? I've been missing the social contact with my friends. Need to make more of an effort there.

3. what do i want to create/build? I built a shoe rack for Emily yesterday, it was kind of ghetto, I'm out of practice. I should get going on my homebuilt guitar project.

4. how (and when) do i want to contribute to the world/to others? I've been postponing this one for too long, I want to try a volunteer day with Habitat for Humanity at one of their builds down in Bowness. Could use to help Dean a little more too.


Generally right now I feel like I'm in a bit of a holding pattern.


What are my passions? What do i get excited about? Here are some:
- exercise - running, yoga - getting fit
- building things, fixing things - working with my hands




On another note, I've had lots of travel so far this year, which has been fun, and I want to capture that.

I've been to:

- Charleston WV twice in Jan/Feb with TC.
- Houston for two back-to-back weeks in April with TC
- Maui in May with B
- Nanaimo in June with B, to visit Dad & Patricia
- Oshkosh WI in July with Jeff, amazing airshow

And coming soon, a trip to Croatia and Venice with B in Sept/Oct.


Sure has been nice having the summer off. No regrets about quitting TC!!!
