Old Friends and Inspiration

I recently spent time with an old friend who was visiting.  It really gave me a lot to think about especially with everything that has changed in my life this year.

It made me realize that one of the things I have missed most over the last few years is travel.  I have been very restless and now it is time to get back to the things that are important to me in my life.  It seems sometimes those things change or fade when there is not just you to think about. 

So in keeping with my goals for this year I have two more things I want to do and these will be my goals for next year before I travel to Nicaragua for a visit later next year.

I am going to learn Spanish and become a yoga teacher.  These are two things I have wanted to do for more than a few years now.......There is no time like the present.

Stick around there are going to be a lot more changes before I get done......Prepare for many new adventures!

In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....

Where is the balance?

Everyday I wake up with big plans of getting some exercise, making some jewelry, Christmas decorations and cards and somehow it is now just before Christmas and I have not gotten in any better shape and have only made one pair of earrings this year....Where is the balance? How do I stop everyday life from stopping me.  By the time I get home from work, make dinner and do all the things I have to do which now also include a college course and a volunteer position I have no time for the things I set out to do at the beginning of the year.  I do not know where I could possibly squeeze in another hour or so....I am already exhausted.  I had mistakenly thought that when I sold my house and no longer had that maintenance to look after I would have more time...nope not so.  Okay so I got a job that I only work 35 hours a week and get off at 2:30 on Fridays and I could use that time....nope....now it just gets used for errands most times.... I keep asking myself this q...
