Well, things have been hopping around here lately! I have been thinking of a wide variety of things as I drive around the wilderness. I finished the Friday Night Knitting Club and now I'm listening to a Robert Crais novel called Suspect. It is awesome thus far, mostly because it is about service dogs and all the amazing things that they can do. I'm loving audio books, which I would never have imagined. It is sometimes hard to switch back to my real book - I have always been a one book at a time person, but I'm getting the hang of it.
I have been pondering adolescent angst pretty frequently lately. The stress and drama of being a teenager was farther from my memory than I realized. Kids are so pressured to perform, to seek approval from others and to keep up with their peers. It is hard to be the quirky, unique kid or the sad and depressed kid. It is also hard to maintain quality relationships with friends when you can't really figure out what they think and why they think it. I remember feeling totally overwhelmed and distressed when I was a Sophomore in high school. I think that it hits different kids at different times but sometimes they really feel hurt, sad, alone, misunderstood and confused and it is INTENSE and horrible. Hug a kid today! And, more importantly, talk to them and LISTEN to them!
I am eagerly working at the Dirty Girl Adventures development. Actually, I have really only been working in my brain! I seem to need undivided attention and time to follow through with the next steps of making this business official. I am optimistic that that time will come over Christmas Break. I plan to have completed the paperwork and filed my LLC, registered my business with the state, applied for a federal tax ID and figured out the insurance by the end of February.
I have been slacking on my workouts lately - I need more core training and strength training. MUST go to the gym and lift heavy objects! MUST do some more regular yoga! Going outside is awesome though! It has been frigidly cold already this year which I must admit has slowed me down a bit. I really can feel the difference when I exercise - I have more energy, sleep better and ache less. Today some Dirty Girls and I hit the trail for a few miles. Even though it was about 24*, we had a good time. AND, I felt pretty good all day!
I actually spent a good chunk of the day doing nothing but chillaxing! A rare but delightful day of free choice! A little time with the family, some friends, some art and some laundry! Nice! I'm feeling refreshed... and ready for bed! Hope your day was full of something fabulous!
