Perhaps it’s because L kept reminding me of things he is missing overseas, I am feeling especially blessed. I have both the time and the means to pursue those things that I love. I only need to work one day a week for a boss that appreciates what I do. I am knitting, spinning, doing photography and videos and I get to enjoy a drink or a glass of wine when I feel like it. I am drinking coffee that I roasted myself. I get to try grooming Benny and get the right clipper for the job.
I love to learn. Be it a new software, a new tool, a new technique, I really enjoy the process of getting the scoop for a given task. The only things I have to rein in a little is ballroom compeition. It costs so much to go to an event, not only for the flights, the hotel room, food, but also the dances that you have to pay for, not to mention the invenstment in the costumes and makeup and hair and nails. When I retire, I can then really start competing regularly. But for now, I still get to take private lessons and I always learn something new in every lesson.
For right now, my favorite thing to do is to put recorded cooking shows on, surf on the net, knit or listening to the audio book and spin. Life is really good and I am so blessed.
