Week Three
It's not always many steps forward, but as long as we don't regress.
This week did not start out that well. I am deeply realizing and relishing the importance of walking. It allows me to take in the fresh air, it offers some simple exercise. The truth of the matter is that in addition to the craziness with everything breaking up, there is the stupid salivary stone. It is really quite annoying, and I am not able to eat most things.
I am grateful that I am able to fit in a semi work trip. Taking that one day, allowed me to squeeze a few hours in Toronto. I am truly grateful for a beautiful day, the change of scenery and the extreme kindness of some people that I met. I am hopeful again.
I feel somedays, this truly might pass, maybe not right this minute, but someday. To that end I want to make a small bucket list. Not a big one, just about eleven items giving myself a 5-year horizon. These are in no particular order.
Visit the Islands either Jamaica and or Trinidad.
Visit Galapagos
Run a half marathon, they say it is never too late.
Start a catering hustle.
Visit Rajasthan
Visit South India
Finish Curry Connection
Finish Asian Cooking for Two
Find that dream job.
Rediscover home.
Visit Paris (Cliched, I know)
After a good day at the conference, I feel satisfied. I spent the evening with his cousins, who are my friends as well. Leaving me to wonder, what happens to these relationships in a year’s time? I guess, I will figure out and understand then.
The one takeaway from this week, is that for me to heal and get stronger, I need to find a change of pace as an when possible. I know for me this will not be an Eat, Pray and Love trip, but that is okay. We all find our Nirvana the only way life offers and affords this place to us. This is Week Three for me.
Your takeaway from the week is very powerful and I am working on practicing the same thing - change of pace whenever the world and situations allow. Thank you for sharing.
