As I lay here on my sofa, it dawns on me that I used to spend many of nights in/at home alone with koko and I was extremely content. However now, today, I'm sitting here bummed because last night I had to cancel on my friend where we were going to hit a new pizza and beer joint here in my hood and bring out dogs and hang over dinner. And tonight I was getting back together with the friends who were there for me when I jumped out of the plane and I was going to share in two of them experiencing the famous Salt Lick bbq here in Austin for the first time - yum, and so fun. Such a great weekend planned and here I am home sick.
What's striking me is how my desire is to be with my friends and to have enjoyed both evenings as planned. And how different that is from where I was a year ago, and if I'm being honest, many, many of the past several years. Probably since my mom died.
As I continue to say, something has shifted and I attribute so much of it to my time at the Hoffman Institute. Truly truly life changing. Even one of my bestest friends from home, who I spoke to today said, 'I like hearing everything you're saying. You're so much less pressurized, and it sounds great.' Yea, Margaret, I agree. Thanks for noticing and thanks for saying so. Means a ton from someone who's known me my whole life.
So here's to the future. I started on my "new view" vision board tonight from the sofa (thank you pinterest) and the view is looking good. So time to get myself healed and get out there....as there's a lot of life left to live!
