Leonid Meteor Shower




My legs actually feel worn out today! I stayed at work until 7:30 tonight for our potluck/ Thanksgiving program- and then I hiked up the bluff- on the Hixon trails, to go view the Leonid meteor shower. I found a nice lookout there and lay back on the big flat rock enjoying the stars and listening to music for awhile. It took me awhile to realize that the meteors were lower in the sky, and I was better off sitting up to watch them- but laying on the rock for awhile was really peaceful and relaxing. I have been trying to find a better balance between work and play lately, and I have to say, I have been MUCH happier!! I have been getting out and seeing more of my friends, getting more fresh air, and have just generally been enjoying my life more. The last couple months I have felt like a lump on a log- working late, and then coming home and working on more stuff until I had no more energy left- then maybe going out and trying to do something, but being too worn out to even really enjoy myself..... I have decided I would rather be worn out later at night and try to work on things then. After work now I am trying to get outside and do some of the things that just make me happy- and the difference is really noticable in my whole day. Now if I can just figure out which direction I want to go with my life- I still feel like I am trying to refigure things out after this last year.....for now I think I have decided to just go with the flow and see what comes along- as I am too indecisive about what I want to do anyways, and I think I need some time to just relax and sort some other things out. I have been getting back into reading my books, sorted through most of my things and actually have what feels like a home again, and finally feel settled at my new job- now to finish up my surgeries, sort through things on my land, and enjoy my friends and family again!
