Very excited about my vacation starting tomorrow! Calls me back to relaxation mode. Getting up with the sun, doing morning yoga, taking the 10 mile walk on the golf course, and swimming in the pool until I drop from sheer exhaustion. Last time I stayed I spent about 5 hours in the pool before my tummy finally had it with my ignorance.
This time I have a lovely literary companion. I am really quite excited. So we'll both lull each other to sleep. Thank you again.
It seems like a long time since I had this kind of treatment. Actually a year ago. This time I get a whole few days to just clear my mind. Get the traffic, anxiety, and frustrations out. If I had the money I'd get a massage to complete the experience. Maybe next time or after I rob a bank.
Having something or someone wash over you and make you realize that these moments are worth something. And this one. And this one. Makes you smile, doesn't it? There are reasons I feel the pull of the ocean every once in a while. There are reasons the mountains call. And there is a reason I always threaten to take off into the wildness and never come back. Go to do my Vision Quest I neglected to do years ago....
I want to dip my cares into the water and have them drip off my toes into the sea with other forgotten woes. But laundry comes first. And I still have to finish packing.
Peter dragged me out to see X-Men tonight and it was really quite good. Not excellent, but it was nice to see the evolutions. I needed to spend some quality time with a friend. And he continues to go through a lot. Poor guy. I wish him the best.
"I’m calling you to say
That I’m gonna be anywhere you want
Tonight and forever
I’m coming home to take
Take us both apart and put us back like one
And bleed together"
