A Rapid End to the Season

Summer only has a few more weeks left according to my school calendar. I kinda left this blog for a while. Doing some other writing on the side for a writing class and of course more soul-searching.

The trip to the Outer Banks was an excellent journey. The only sounds were the sea gulls, the crashing waves, and the distant playing of kids in the surf. Gentle breeze and tranquility. A great combination. Only regret is I didn't stay a few days longer. My grandmother said she never thought she would get to see the ocean again... and hearing her say that made the 12 hour car ride worth it. Three generations at the beach- priceless.

Running is still a priority and I've signed up for a 10k in September to stir the ashes of motivation. I'd like to run it all, but realistically I have a feeling I might need to walk at least a mile. I hit all the appointments of optometrist, gynecologist, dentist, chiropractor... all except the dermatologist. One appointment I need to make before 2010 escapes.

The writing class was good. On certain days I felt even more compelled than ever to pursue writing full scale and others I've thought it just a foolish thought. I have no writing credentials, but how does anyone get them if they don't first assert themselves?

More post-masters work. I could use a few more weeks of summer, but as we are all limited by time, this season of life is coming to a rapid close. Change is around the corner. Daily routine and getting back to the grind is at hand. I hope to savor the last few weeks of lazy mornings and tall cups of coffee without interuptions and yet still succeed in getting a few errands and social appointments met.
