Summer Again...
Good evening,
I have gotten to slow down a little bit lately. It's good to take a break after pushing toward a goal for a year. I finished my AmeriCorps hours yesterday: 1,720 hours. It will be so good to see the final hours get approved this week. Then I will feel like I am really done.
I have actually had time to read things for fun lately. I read The Bean Trees and The Secret Life of Bees. It was good to finish the whole book so they can move on to another home. I haven't been the most productive, but maybe rest is productive unto itself.
It is so nice to be out in the sunshine lately. The light is long. I have been out on walks with the dog sometimes. She's pulling me along mostly. I am somewhat tired out, so this post may not be the most eloquent. I am moving forward with training at a youth shelter. I have been doing volunteer hours there for awhile.
So many popsicles... I love popsicles. I painted my toenails a turquoise ocean blue. It's a wonderful color. I really like those ocean hues and yellows. The colors may remind me of an oasis since they are tropical.
I wanted to write something deep and get things out of me that I needed to get out. It's easier to make small talk than really let people in. I had a friend analyze me about a cube, horses, a ladder, flowers, a storm, etc. Apparently I am somewhat guarded and support others. That seems true. It has been good to have time to spend with others. It is also good to see my sister. I am letting go of things slowly as I start a new chapter. It's not easy to feel alone, but I have freedom of how I will spend my time. I am hoping that the new job goes well. There is a lot to learn, I am capable but I will need to grow.
I feel like my real self in the summer. I can absorb the sunshine, take walks, see my skin turning brown, not need to layer up so much. Maybe once I fill up more in my soul I'll have more to say. I'm glad there are dairy-free ice creams. I had some delicious raspberry dairy-free ice cream at the Big River Scoop. That place is adorable. I really write more for my own sake than for others, but I do hope that I can encourage others too.
Well, that's all I got. Goodnight internet world, sweet dreams.
