Woo! A quick break.

So used to moving at light speed, I almost forget what it feels like to slowwwww dowwwnnn...

The Sustainable Living Roadshow tour I was going to be a part of just ran into a terrible misfortune of losing one of their three biodiesel busses... which kind of [and by kind of, I mean entirely] eliminates the possibility of the last leg of volunteers hopping on board.

So suddenly, I am faced with two and a half months of complete and total, unadulterated freedom.

o.O

And without hesitation, I am already scouring the interwebs for opportunities to fill up my schedule.

Why? I haven't a clue. Maybe because I'm finally understanding my own swing of things. People have always told me I need to relax, to slow down... etc etc. But I find that I do that in the most random moments, in moments that I cannot plan for. Even if it comes in the form of spending two days traveling to see old friends on my journey home, which is exactly what I have been doing. I just spent a day in Stuarts Draft, VA with Trip and Hilary at their adorable new home... and was taken care of with such hospitality. Then I stopped in Blacksburg where I most recently moved from to just grab dinner and Caboritas... and I couldn't help but stay the night. I'm actually writing to you from Mill Mountain coffee shop... having the most beautiful, slow, and blissful morning. :)

My next venture is to return to Asheville and get some orders for prints shipped out. On top of that, I really need to finish my website. Good lord has that become a thorn in my side in the most ludacris way. I love doing it but almost can't force myself to sit down and figure out all the detailed web programming I have in mind for it. I need to hit that one head on after a full night's rest with tons of brain clarity in the morning. Trying to program and design a site from scratch successfully is like slowing rewiring your brainwaves into one giant digital knot from the most confusing ring of hell.

Regardless, things seem to be on a good track. I keep having to tame my thoughts from jumping so forward to the future. Have to keep reminding myself that the present moment is all we are truly capable and equipt to handle and drive forward with, and the more I seem to keep myself present, the more successful I seem to be. A lot of reminding myself that what I WANT to be doing is truly more important than all the things I feel like I SHOULD be doing. I got this, and I don't need to suffocate my life energy by placing rules on my actions and confining myself to any set of routines! It's hard to learn to take things day by day but the more I do it, the better I get at making that the best way of functioning. :)
