today
well. i guess a lot has changed in my life lately :)
after much thought, i've decided on what is for me, a pretty big lifestyle change...i have given up night shifts as a chef. i'm now a daywalker - 9 - 5, monday to friday - and i absolutely love it. i feel i am getting literally twice as much out of life - seeing my friends and family again, getting outside of myself, establishing healthy patterns and routines...and still cooking.
life is great. i feel very connected, peaceful and balanced. i don't take it for granted, and i don't pretend it can last forever. it takes work, patience and sometimes mistakes. but it trades off with learning, compassion and love. works for me.
been balancing out my work with eating well, video games (of course!) and meeting new people in healthy environments.
my summer was great, but i've decided it's the last summer, or season or year for that matter, where i place a higher emphasis on work, or trying to enhance my culinary skill, than me as a person. the culinary arts are arts - constantly evolving, never to be mastered. just to be learned and learned, honed and honed. it's a great skill to learn for the anti perfectionist in me :)
looking forward to a majestic fall and winter, balanced and nice. new people, new adventures. should be good.
