This Friday I was in one of those terrible mood funks I couldn't escape no matter how hard I tried. Ben came home and found me grumpy, tired, and frustrated and said just the things I needed to hear at just the right time. The main gist of his message was that we are going to stop living life in limbo, settle in, and enjoy ourselves! Stop acting like we might leave any moment (that attitude keeps stopping us from doing so many things from traveling to cleaning to participating in new activities to making friends). With that, we spent the rest of the weekend trying to remedy that trend.
I finished my bookbinding project (picture coming soon), watched three movies, started a new book (Vincent Van Gogh recommended it to me!), took long walks, reconnected with family, played in the new kiddie pool with Jho, cleaned, baby-proofed and organized Jho's room, reconnected with an old college writing partner, played Magic cards with Ben, and today we bit the bullet and went to Universal Studios! I needed that.
We are also planning a trip to Maine to celebrate our friends, Chris and Leslie's, wedding. I haven't traveled since our trip to Japan and I am so excited at the prospect.
Live, Jess. Don't just plan to live.
