Hi there..

So I figure I'd write a bit again.... I have been feeling the itch for months now.. to reconnect with you all.. even in my vulnerable and unsure moments (I've been having them a lot this year) so I'll start off by not vomiting too much into your computer screen.. and start off slowly.

From 3 things 2 things :

3 things that make me happy:

1. I feel really pretty today... I am wearing my favorite outfit.. coral shirt with this cool printed skirt.. and my toes are done a bright pink (for the beach this weekend) Nails done too so I feel pretty put together today.
2. I am SO excited for the beach... 5 days of doing NOTHING.. relaxing.. sleeping in.. reading.. journaling (maybe shedding a tear or two).. looking out onto the waves of the ocean.. taking pictures.. going to Rohoboth and looking at all the cute shops... eating yummy food .. playing cards.. having a drink or seven.. I haven't done this... relaxing.. in a LONG LONG TIME and with everything that's happened this year already.. I need a stretch of nothingness.
3. Peter and I had a GREAT nite last nite.. I came home from volunteering at the Nat'l Building Museum and then Scotts Birthday Party (GREAT TIME!!!) and I thought Peter was working till 10ish.. but I came home and he was there!!!! We sat outside on the patio... drank a bottle of wine.. and played Gin Rummy!! (I won!) then we went to eat Thai.. and laid on the couch together.. it was SO NICE!!! I feel so blessed!!!
4. BONUS: Right down the street from Peters place (ok.. OUR place) on Sundays is a Farmers market.. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that I walk there every sunday that we're around.. and this farm sells the most beautiful wildflowers.. I would buy them ALL from them if I could.. but I buy a few bunches and put them around the house.. along with a zucchini bread and the Sunday Newspaper (and Sunday Morning Edition) and cup of coffee...mmm... NOTHING I can think of that's better!!!

2 things that i'm looking forward to today:

1. Getting as MUCH work done as possible so I don't have to be concerned about it when I go on vacation.

2. After work.. doing laundry and resting.. I think I'm finally getting the hang of not over planning myself!!!

2 long term things I'm looking forward to:

1. The weekend of September 26th, 2009. Being surrounded with my amazing friends and family. I'll write more on this in the coming months.

2. Seeing my boy Matthew again.. He's been in Iraq for a long time.. He's home now on R&R and although I won't be able to see him this time he's home.. I am excited to see him and spend time with him hopefully soon.. Love you!

1 Person I am going to appreciate:

I will start this posting by saying I appreciate Life/The Universe/God.. Wow.. this year has been one loopedy loop.. UP and DOWN and side to side... the perverbial Roller Coaster.. My feelings have been thrown all over the place... I've cried.. laughed been a little ashamed of myself.. been proud of myself too... and been ultimately amazed at what has transpired this year.. Funny.. even the events of the past few months when I look back on them.. have happened.. I THINK.. exactly the way they should.. regardless of my emotions... I know that I'm not alone.. I know I am supported by those "Seen and Unseen" and that everything.. even the things I do not understand (TRUST ME THERE IS A LOT I DONT UNDERSTAND) is happening EXACTLY as it should.. I need to rest into that a lot more.. So Thank You Universe/God/Angels/Bertha/ My Guides/Teachers and loved ones.. I KNOW I could not do this without you..

always "The Searcher"...
