Unwind
So today's my first real day off since April, about. Or not. Maybe my first real day off will be once I'm home and sleeping in my own bed again. But I didn't have to work today. That's something, right?
I'm feeling surprisingly ok about leaving the circus, this year, no sadness, no regrets. It's like I just pushed a pause button and it'll be all there again when I'm ready to push play. I come out of the experience changed as usual, and with new ideas about what to do in life. I always find it funny when people admire how planned out, how certain I am about my direction in life. It's easy to be certain when you've chosen the simple route and it's easy to be happy when there's so many things you love doing. I accomplished what I needed to do there, I leave with a better understanding of myself and an appreciation of how much I need to get done. I'm going to miss my extended family during the year, but there have been promises of visits, plans made and it's never goodbye, just "see you down the road". I've got one more year until I'm out of here, on whatever great adventure that might be.
