25 Miles to go!

June 30, 2010

I lost my focus for a few days there, but I’m back to walking. Life just likes to get in the way of everything. Last week I was traveling and then it was my birthday and I have so many things I put off for 39 days that are starring me in the face asking to be taken care of: going to the recycling center, returning a cooler to a friend, laundry, a stack of papers and mail that need to be sorted, filed and recycled, etc. I started to let myself to try get to all of these things and realized I would never finish these last few miles. I had to refocus my energies back to walking. One of the main reasons I want to get these finished is so I can take on other activities that don’t eat up almost every spare minute of the day.

That being said on Saturday my fabulous friend Maddie and I went to Catalina and spent the day wandering around Avalon. We also got some snorkeling in which was so soothing to my soul. Absolutely nothing in the world makes me as calm inside as being in or on the water. The ocean works best, but any body of water will give me a bit of it. I didn’t want to get out of the water, I would have stayed there for hours if I could have. But alas we had to catch the ferry home.

I finally got back to walking to work yesterday! I will say after having a few days off, I enjoyed it more than I had in a while. That was a pleasant surprise. It makes me think that I will still walk occasionally just because I want to.

I have to hit the road to work, but here are some snorkeling photos from Catalina.
