Where I Ended Up

After looking at many, many places, I finally decided to move to the quaint little town of Marion. I need a place to hibernate, yet not feel isolated. In this little village I can ride my bike, walk or run for miles without a lot of traffic around.

I will still be going back and forth to Connecticut to keep an eye on Mom, but will have a place to retreat to and have my privacy.

I want so much to write, read, and complete the projects I haven't finished. My goal is to tie up many of the loose ends of my life by the end of the year. I have a strong desire to get smaller and smaller. The stuff of life overwhelmed me and was pulling me under. Now, as I let go of more and more material possessions, I feel freer and freer to be who I was meant to be. I will turn 60 next year and it is time for me to stop sabotaging myself and fly.

At the moment I am sabotaging myself with sugar. I can feel the yeast taking over my body. Can I find the discipline to say NO to sugar. I have done it before, but it feels harder this time. Always, I need some distraction. For now I will just rest and get settled in this new place.

I am working to make each day, each moment, the best that it can be. More and more anyway. Finding peace from within.
