Back in the Groove

Am feeling more myself and at back at peace. Think I came to terms with what was bothering me and have sorted it out in my head.  I tend to hang on to things and am trying to learn to let go, it is a long and hard process as are all ingrained habits. Slow and steady, making sure to forgive yourself.

The mindfulness course I am taking is interesting. I find that I do not make time to practice it at home as I just don't think about it.  Maybe once the school year is finished I will seriously explore it further. That being said, I have no issues clearing my mind and feeling peaceful when Harlow and I jump on the ferry and go over to the island for our long walks. I love to stop, close my eyes, open my ears, breath and just listen--the waves, birds, rustling of leaves. A calmness just comes over me and I feel I am where I need to be, in that moment. This is where I am in the present and comfortable with myself.


School year is winding down, just a couple of days until exams start. That means quiet afternoons for me to organize, clean and plan for the fall.  Not that I am hurrying a new school year in but I can come in fresh and ready to go. No plans for the summer other than trying to find new trails that I can take Harlow down off leash. I love watching her run free down the paths, ears flying, tongue hanging out the side going from a gallop to a funny little trot and then stopping to wait for me to catch up all the while seeing the twinkle in her eyes.
