A Day Away
Okay, I'll be honest...it's been incredibly good to get away from camp for awhile - and away from Lake Geneva. Eve if it's only been for a few hours, it's totally worth it. And even if it is snowing! in April after it was 80 degrees last Sunday...Just being an hour away for a couple of hours has been totally refreshing. I'd still like a "real" vacation, but I'll take what I can get!
So, I've been settling into my new life in Lake Geneva at LGYC & CC. I think I'm beginning to hit a rhythm, so now it's time to change it up. I'm definitely still very alone - so first change is to have a "community night". I think after Easter, Friday nights are going to be Open House nights: Bring a chair, and a game and food to share. I'll never know who exactly's going to show up, but I think I'm not the only one who's craving a regular hang-out night. I can't do a lot about my seating situation right now, but I also can't wait until everything's perfect. So, come all ye people, and let's have fun!
Next step - regular work out nights. I've been going to the beach just about every night - but now it's time for something more. AKA - no more Netflix until I've done something active! So - lots of walks, hiking in Big Foot and biking. I think I'm going to buy a new bike...AND I've got permission to get a puppy! I think I'll wait until the fall - I think I'll be done with any major traveling by then. But, it will be good to have "someone" around when I get home. :)
Another step - Do Something Creative - EVERY DAY! If it's painting my walls, crocheting, making a card, making jewelry, coloring - whatever. I NEED to create. I've found that I'm quite unhappy when I don't. It's like a part of me is dying inside. Sounds dramatic, but it's true.
Anyways, that's my plan to get over the fact that I'm working a desk job again. Never thought I'd go back to a desk...but I know it's where God has me. Maybe it will evolve and change...or maybe I'll move to Oregon... :)
