Back to basics....

My many remakings are remarkable in their own way. Each, to varying degrees, includes body, mind, and spirit. Each requires being proactive, rather than reactive.

Running always provides the necessary rubric. Running enables me to: regroup; renew; rework; reorganize; remember; and reenergize.

Running is not static; it requires constant movement. So too do I. Running is my restorative.

One week in - I am exhausted and energized

I'm sitting in my Sunday morning solitude and wondering.

It has been a god week.  I was proactive and productive.  I have done so much but can't help but think about all there is to do.  I clearly have too much going on, and I have to figure out what to do about that.

Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of my Daddy's death, and later this month will mark 6 months since my Mommy's death.  Visiting their grave provided comfort.




They left a lovely legacy, and I want to nurture it.  They didn't leave much money; really nothing to speak of.  My Mom often said that my Dad left what money can't buy.  I belittled, if not dismissed, that position as trite.  However, I now am realizing the truth and value of it.

Last night was a winter wonderland that I took time to appreciate.



Today promises to be another busy day filled with challenges.  I will welcome then just as I welcome those who enter my home.

 

Some time will be devoted to my rummaging passion, which is flourishing.  While it requires honing, the ultimate value to me is in its broad scope.  Each piece provides an essential element, which, when put together, reveal overall wonder.

New Routine for 2017

I am looking forward to this coming year.  So much is in the works and it's time for my projects to advance, even a little bit.  I am learning to take and make time for me personally and for what matters to me.  Today was peaceful, including a walk during which I took this picture.

I am setting myself up for success....
