My mind is always always always going. Ask anyone. I'm always trying to figure something out, whether it be bills, projects, work, my behavior, - I my WHEELS are always turning.
In turn...when times are tough, the wheels spin harder and faster, and sometimes I just can't get answers. Well - often times I can't get answers, but during stressful times, this makes me fall hard. I try to sleep, I can't - I go for drives, I walk, I exercise, I drink, I write, I take all sorts of routes to try and develop a plan to fix the situations at hand.
Well...over the last couple months, mostly May...I was at my end. And then...I went camping.
I can honestly say I can't think of another time in at least the last 2 years, when I haven't had my mind on SOMETHING. Always trying to fix something, or if there is nothing to fix, trying to improve something.
Friday afternoon I pulled up to Mandy and Ken's camper, unloaded my stuff, got Budha out of the car...and everything vanished. For 3 days - I did not have a concern in the world. The only thoughts I had were about whatever I was doing at that very moment (roasting hot dogs, walking the pups, playing games, etc...) Nothing over the top exciting happened....it was truly like leaving one world to enter a brand new one. I loved it.
Of course now that I'm back...the wheels are turning again, but how nice just to give it a rest for a bit.
Mandy, Ken, Amanda, Nick, Henry, Sammy, Budha, Jig, Sniper, thanks for a great weekend.
