I had a great summer.
Great being:
1. I traveled a lot and seeing places always makes me happy.
2. I was seeing someone.
All the hiking, car camping, and driving trips to Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, and very briefly, Texas (el paso only) were so enriching to my soul. I long for the open road and seeing places I have never been before.
I also discover thrift stores and rummage sales. I had a ball finding interesting stuff to buy at a great price. I even started buying 2nd hand clothing! Reuse and repurpose is good for the wallet, not to mention the environment.
And it was doubly fun to do activities with a man friend. We were a great team and enjoyed pretty much the same things. Over the summer I put together my own car camping essentials (via Craigslist), like a 5-person tent, air mattress, folding table, and Coleman stove, etc.. Why such a big tent? I can stand up (it's over 6 feet tall in the center) and so much more comfortable to get in and out. We carcamped in grand style and ate steaks whenever we could.
So, as a result, I haven't hiked much. Thankfully my new metabolism and sensible eating keep me in the same shape. Now that winter is around the corner, I have to get back in hiking shape to tackle winter hikes and mountaineering training for next year's Mt. Hood (fingers crossed for lots of snow this winter).
As for the man friend, history. We broke up recently. It is one thing to enjoy the same activities, it is entirely something different when heart is concern. I like him and enjoy his company but I don't respect him as a man. Being a strong personality and a woman, I can't stand men who are soft and weak (from my perspective). If I can't respect, I tend to do too much (decision making and execution) to a point I get exhausted and resent the guy for being a weak one.
So we parted ways before the feelings get too deeply hurt.
I have already moved on because I have discovered jewelry making. The creative energy is so addictive. I can spend all day all week bending wires, making pieces, and taking photos. Yes I do sell them on Etsy, along with my vintage finds and items I need to purge, like some very unique handbags that I have collected over the years.
Life is exciting when I am at the brink of a new chapter. I can't wait to see what and who will come next. |
