Still
My summer thus far is into it's 3rd wk. without any very promising prospects on the horizon for an adventurous trip. For those who know me, they find it daunting that Sophia is still in Toronto? Why isn't she somewhere else in another part of the world???? A friend asked the other day, "Soph, is it killing you not to be somewhere? My response was simply, YES!!!! I'm dying! Ha! Ha!
Granted, and believe me, I would be the first to say that I would rather be somewhere else & not here! My heart's biggest desire for the whole entire school year is to look forward to that summer trip...Unfortunately, things haven't panned out as I foresaw & anticipated but at the same time, as the year was really grueling , now that I have "a few seconds" time to actually sit down & think, I have been enjoying my time of relaxing & resting.... I'd say, really, resting...
Although my body is messed up b/c it's being tricked into thinking it must go off to explore after spending 9 straight summers packing up & setting off to faraway adventures, it is getting better...It may be hard to understand, but my body is missing what it's used to & as a result, is going through it's mental & physical toil. There's no doubt!
STILL, I delight in savoring the time...
• writing ppl near & dear to me b/c I've delayed in doing so
• burning up the landline or cellphone to hear familiar voices & to catch up
• sitting down to enjoy my morning's coffee
• working out in the mornings
• scanning the clientele of ppl. @ the gym & see what it's like when I'm normally at work!
• sitting & relishing time to reflect & taking the time to think & ponder about the many things that race through my mind
• playing Bananagrams a million times until I actually begin to doze
• taking afternoon power naps the ones I so often craved during the school yr.!
• enjoying a particularly long or late morning/early afternoon breakfast
• finally doing & completing little projects that have been on the old & crinkled To Do list
• sleeping in & waking up to no set alarm....uuuhhhh...bliss
• long overdue dinners & hanging out
• cherishing the company & time w/ friends & family
STILL ...I'm thankful for the summer that is because it's time for all the things I mentioned & much, much more...
