I've been busy. It feels good to be getting projects accomplished around the house. The more I do, the more I seem to want to do (or maybe the more ideas I get). This time of year is naturally about nesting...getting ready to hunker down for the winter. But it's more than that for me. My roots are growing deeper, I'm desiring to make the most of what I have exactly where I am and appreciate it all.
For a quite a while, always in the back of my mind, I've wanted to move back to California. The real estate divide just keeps growing, however. That being the case, such a move isn't something that's going to happen (at least not until I'm ready to substantially downsize and when it becomes prudent to be near family). So I'm settling in for the long term, which is a weird thing to consider since I've already been here for over seven years. It all feels different than it has up till now. I feel more present with what is. There's a lot to be grateful for. There's a lot of potential for growth and joy, right here and now.
