i don't know what to say

Apparently.

I hayt it when my page is blank. I feel sad when my page is blank. I feel even sadder when my life is blank, and it certainly is NOT blank these days, which is why my page is blank.

My sixth grade English teacher would not like that sentence.

Every time I have attempt to write something, it gets jumbled up with the 10,476 other things about which I am thinking in that moment. Bleh.

So, for now, and mostly (I admit) because I do not like my page to be blank, I will say this.

I am going away this weekend on a *surprise* trip. Meaning, I don’t know where we are going. I only know what I am supposed to pack, and I gotta say – it hasn’t given away any of the plot to know what I am supposed to pack. It’s pretty much what I’d wear on any given weekend. I admit, I am intrigued…

I have never been on a surprise trip before. In fact, I have never been on a trip for which I did not do all the planning, reservations, scheduling and activity coordination. Or, if not ALL the planning, at least some of it. I am doing NONE of the planning for this weekend. I feel like a queen, which I suspect may have been part of the intention behind my love’s surprise. I feel excited about it! And I feel grateful for Steve. Every day.

Mush. I know. If you want non-mush, find some other blog to read today.

working on...

my next steps in lifework (otherwise known as career for most people)

writing stories about all kinds of things, but mostly about a character named Mr. P

living life day by day without too many expectations about what I "should" be doing at any given moment

being in relationship and exploring what that actually looks like for me as I work on my sense of differentiation

getting photos of Hawaii up on Flickr (sorry Moj!! he he!)

finding the balance in all things and being a "happy and joyful being"

saving up for an awesome digital SLR and a kayak and paddle

what I'm going to wear this weekend to a most fabulous marriage ceremony between two of the most fabulous people I am blessed to know

taking care of myself and not over-extending

being honest about what I need, feel, think, and want

trusting my intuition - about both the little and the big things

finding quiet times and spaces in my life to help me be... me
