The summer has drawn to a close, and the children are well and truly off to school now. My days have returned to peaceful quiet broken only by the occasional barking dog. I'm feeling like I'm starting to surface from some deep dark eddy of non-existence... making plans with friends, running again, and searching for my next boat.
I start travelling for work again next week, and I'll be gone through November. It'll be a long couple of months for me and the kids, but I think it'll be good for me, and give me the chance to reexamine the direction I want my life to go in.
I'll be living (during the week) in a small, rural town somewhere in the Midwest. I went online this morning, and found a dance studio located just a block from my work and the hotel I'll be living at. They have ballet classes twice a week at night, perfect for my schedule (and easier on my body than running!) And I'll be just a few blocks from the river, so can find some peace on the water as well. Last thing I need to locate there is a bike shop, so I can rent a bike to burn off stress. The more I look at it, the better this seems it will be for my sanity.
