Following Edge

I didn't tell everyone, but, in January, I felt like I'd reached the best point in my life. Between being mostly relaxed about work while accomplishing good things, getting things done around the house at a mostly relaxed pace, taking time off work and household chores to spend more relaxed time with Lauren, how could things be better?

Perhaps I could say that I am only mostly through my 18 month (or more) journey in making my life less anxious and depressed, in getting closer to people and things that I love (like this horse riding picture from this fall), and in focusing on what's good for me. I could say that I can still be a bit more relaxed about things, that I could be better connected to the people I love, that Anne Marie and I could be even further along with our goals, and that I could be even more exactly where I want to be. But, who wants to be at the end of the journey?

Now, especially after my first trip to Hawaii reminded me not to worry about things when there is no problem (a'one he pilikia, again), I could barely be happier and I can only look forward to the ever-improving future, even if there could be financial trouble, hard work, and unending chores ahead. It's all in how you look at it.

And no, you skeptics, I'm not high... at the moment. Just pleased and mostly relaxed.

My focus on relaxation has cut out some of my time writing here. I'm kind of enjoying that my recent 6-month blog sabbatical has served to take some of the "audience pressure" away. Now I'll continue to find my motivation for writing without that pressure. Stay tuned.
