Just Do It!

Dear Peeps,

As Eleanor Roosevelt once said...

Recently I saw this quote and during my morning jog I decided to follow her advice.  And so after being petrified of it when I was little, today I jogged across this bridge.  And back.

Though the drawbridge is up in this picture, it was not up at the time I crossed it.  To be honest, that was what scared me so much about it when I was a kid, that it would go up while I walking over it.  For that reason until this day I hadn't ever walked on the actual drawbridge part of it.

Life has been a bit consuming lately.  At work I am still trying balance who I am with who I need to be to get the job done.  I am finding that this requires self care and ultimately setting boundaries. I think with boundaries comes the illusion that you only have to set them once and be done with it.  In reality people like to push back against them so there is a lot of repetition and consistency involved in being a good boundary setter.

The weather is in the 80's most days now and I am totally fine with that.  After spending most of the winter telling Jak he couldn't get his feet wet when we walked on the beach, the ban has finally been lifted.  Jak is not a fan of getting the salt water rinsed off after our walk and in the cooler months, he acted like the hose water was a torture device.  So with consistently warmer air temps, the hose isn't quite so bad and he is once again allowed to wade in the water to his heart's content.

It's almost time for me to get ready for work so I'll bring this to a close.  I know my posts have been few lately and I promise to make an effort to write more. 

Until next time...
Peace & Love,
Hope
