I need to do something. Something different. Something that will distract me from the inevitable: having to return to the workforce. After all, it has been more than three years, 5 continents and roughly 40 countries. If I am honest, I have had a wonderful vacation....
But now, I am less than months away from re-joining the "rat race." Months away from knowing what I will be doing 5 days a week (maybe 6), months away from knowing how many "vacation days" I get a year. Sadly, months away from realizing I did not accomplish all I set out to.
So now I need a distraction. I have joined a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class (and gotten my fanny handed to me in the process), started playing sand volleyball (and still have not successfully served overhand) and taken dancing classes of different types and styles. The distraction is working like a charm. I am busy. I have this overflow of endorphins that creates a sense of sure bliss. In fact, after getting my "fanny" handed to me for 2 hours in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu I came home happier and with more energy than I have in quite some time. Never mind my left knee was slightly swollen and I do not know how. Never mind I have bruises on my right bicep and my upper back which also. I came home exhausted but energized; empty but enthused. And that energy carried me into the night.
I may have allowed some time to get away from me in the last three years. But I can not allow that to impact today nor tomorrow. I just know that I must do the right thing today. And if that includes a "fanny whuppin'" then so be it!
