just being

trying new things

Restart... Again.

Feels like I’m always starting. Restarting. Refocus. Refresh. I thought I did that earlier this year. New pup. New tattoo. New job. I had energy I hadn’t had in years. I felt better. I looked better. I was active. I actually made meals. I enjoyed a beer or pizza with friends.

I was doing things I enjoyed. And was enjoying the things I was doing.

I didn’t focus on the to-do. What came next, the have to’s. Those things just got done.

I had time.

But the new job didn’t turn out how I thought.

A dog is a big responsibility.

The have to’s came back and I have less time for myself.

So, I’m starting again. Finding time again.

It’s been freezing temperatures and my heart has been broken. I went for a hike, alone in the cold woods. I was overtaken with uncontrollable sobbing, once I stopped I could feel my core body temperature drop. I could actually feel the heat leave my body. I should have felt cold, but I didn’t, I felt fine. I was surprisingly comfortable in the fridge.

Extreme cuteness level. This makes me so happy. 😊
