The San Juan Islands are such gorgeous features of the Northwest. I had a marvelous weekend, refreshing my spirit in the salty breezes as the ferry chugged across the Rosario Strait, as I gathered nudibranchs and slime stars off of San Juan Island, among new friends from far-off places, and rested along the shores of the Friday Harbor laboratory. It was a wonderful experience. I really hope to visit that magical place again sometime soon.
Since then I have run into many other encounters. I did manage to lose my wallet. I also have fallen behind and caught up on my homework. I set up a specific plan for my finals dead week. I feel all over the place, both refreshed and nervous. I have struggled to keep myself up to my promises in the past towards my plans for academics and everything else it seems. Yet I have new devices at my disposal like my happy dream thoughts in the morning, my improved time management, and my refreshing balance of joyful moments I have grown accustomed to.
My big shift I hope to make is to exercise more in the upcoming week. I rarely exercise when I am busy because of the time constraint, but I hope to make time this week to exercise since I have several later mornings and it is now that time of year when I cannot complain about the chill outdoors.
I will find some sense of center and peace in the midst of the craziness that envelopes me. I think it will all work out. I refuse to be the answer to that craziness equation.
