Reflecting

As summer ends and we enter cooler weather, I’ve been reflecting on everything I’ve done this summer.  I felt like most of it was cleaning out my house.  I took four car loads to goodwill – each time the car was so full I couldn’t fit anything else in it.  I shedded 12 large garbage bags of old medical records, tax stuff, etc.  My trash guy will be glad I’m gone as each week I’ve had large amounts of trash.  It feels good!

Until I started going over everything, I didn’t realize just how much riding I did get in.  I did the four corners of Maine hitting Kittery, Grafton Notch, Lubec and Madawaska.  I road all along the coast, and hit New Hampshire a couple of times.  I road with old friends and many new friends, putting about 8,000 miles on just since I’ve been home.  I hit a lot of places I’ve never ridden on right here in my own state – which is pretty cool!

The last week or so I’ve been getting all my financial stuff done.  I should have done it earlier, because now I’m just waiting for a couple things in the mail before I can leave.  Working with my old company has been interesting to say the least, to finalize a few things.  Deep breath, this to shall pass!

I’ll be on the road soon, I’ve been looking over the maps trying to figure out how I want to go.  At first I was thinking following the coast line down to Georgia and then cross over.  With hurricanes and flooding, I don’t think that’s a good idea.  So, I’m still looking and deciding.

I’m glad I took the time to reflect on all that I did this summer, makes me appreciate everything a little more.

With the extra time, I took some time for me the other day and walked down to a nearby pond.  It’s close enough that I can walk to it, and I usually go a few times each season.  It was beautiful with all the leafs changing.  I took my drum and also did a nice meditation by the water.  I felt so refreshed and at peace when I walked back home.

Take some time for you, you may be surprised how refreshing it is!

Love and Light to you all!
