Options and Reflection

I awoke this morning, little sleep after a fun blues party. I didn’t know what to expect, didn’t know if I’d have fun.   But I did. Fun dances, people acting well.  I ended up staying later than I thought, and had more fun than I thought I would.  I got home, crashed and woke up much sooner than I’d’ve liked and went running with my training clinic today. I didn’ t have the strength to run with my usual ‘run faster’ group, still coughing too much — but it was nice. The run was at a nice gentle pace for me, so it wasn’t challenging and it felt nice and easy. A great way to get back into it after the stress and illness of the last few weeks. At the end of the run we went for coffee as always, and I played with a friend’s iPhone. I definitely want one. At some point.
One of the things I realized this morning is that my decision about my life direction is becoming more clear. I still haven’t come to a firm spot but logically things all point to one particular direction shift. And what makes me realize that this is the case, is that I have become more comfortable talking about it with others. More as a reality than a vague option. That’s usuallly a clear sign for me that things are becoming firm enough in my mind that it’s time to make concrete plans and start sorting out finances and such.
