If you are wondering where I've been, then you aren't on my associated Facebook page. And why is that??!! Kidding!!
At any rate, we were on vacation. We again stayed in a cabin in the Pennsylvania mountains. This year we chose a different campground - just to try something different. We found ourselves with no access to the internet at the cabin and most of the campground which was both anxiety provoking and liberating.
I have been trying to change my thinking - because I feel I keep straying from my goals and driving myself crazy to boot.
For the entire week I was there I didn't run. We had Archer with us and didn't bring our bikes. I tried not to obsess about food and exercise - to eat reasonably well, but not to freak out about calorie counts when I did stray from "good" food.
Archer is adjusting to life without his big brother. But we saw some anxiety with him when he was out of his routine and that brought to mind how much he relied on Chakotay's strong and calm presence - because Chakotay rolled with things - not much fazed him. But we did our best to provide "calm assertive energy" as my hero Cesar Millan instructs.
We hiked for miles. We went sightseeing. A horse on a trail bit me! The last afternoon we were there I actually sat on the cabin's deck and relaxed. I didn't obsessively plan our days and chose to believe that things would work themselves out and guess what? They did.
3 more months left in 2016. Definitely NOT the year I anticipated so far, but plenty of time to leave it in a better space.
Tomorrow I want to share some pictures and talk about timing and whether fate exists ....
