I have had a rough last few days and have been thinking a little about what I have accomplished over the last few years.\u00a0\u00a0 I was a little bit saddened by some things but yet the last 12 months have been pretty amazing. <\/p>\n
I won’t go into what caused the problems or why I had been thinking like this but while I cruise north on the bus, heading away from?? You problems I figure it’s as good a time as any to maybe just talk about it. <\/p>\n
On the last 3 years I have changed myself so dramatically that sometimes I am not sure which parts of me are new and which is old. Not sure what belongs to the old mal and what is the new. <\/p>\n
Somewhere in this head of mine I try to comingle the two and hope something works out. Who knows what will\/won’t. <\/p>\n
I take each days as it comes right now, each day a new adventure. Not sure what to expect but all I can say is that each day brings with it unique challenges. Sometimes I wake up ready to take on the world but within hours I hate life. Yet other days it is the other way round. <\/p>\n
There are small things lately that makes me smile. A glimpse of my truck, the sunsets over the Cascades or a glimpse of the Olympics as I walk back to the apartment. Lake Washington by my side on a run or seeing Seattle off in the distance. <\/p>\n
I love it over here yet times I am really sad or homesick. It makes me wonder why I did this sometimes but I will make sure I enjoy it while it lasts to take advantage of everything. I will make the most of every single day I get over here. I don’t know if I ever want to come back. <\/p>\n
Time will tell, but I live by the same motto that has kept me going so far. “The only easy day was yesterday”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
