Wow, I am REALLY bad at this blogging thing. That, or I'm becoming dull enough to not want to share things with you? A little bit of column A..
Recently I had found myself in a downright euphoric state which was capped off by a nice 4 mile barefoot hike through the Delaware Water Gap last weekend. This week I found myself dreading everything. Days dragged, my two days off came and the somber tone had stuck with me. Here I am, Saturday afternoon on a nice day (is the rain actually going to come or not!?) and I can't leave my room.
Well, I can. I have, actually. But that's not the point..or is it?
My days off are just that. Days off. Usually the first day I'll wake up early for a day off, and get a nice 20 mile ride in but this week I skipped it due to fatigue. I wished the rain would come today so I had an excuse to stay in no matter how cramped it makes me feel. Let me tell you this, NYC isn't for everyone. It takes a certain kind of breed to be comfortable with no room for a bed and call it your home.

I'm very devoted to my work. For those of you who don't know, I'm currently managing a raw vegan food and juice shop in Brooklyn Heights. For all its flaws (don't get me started) for the most part, the message is clear and concise and something I support 100%. The problem is, it's taken over my life. Some days I'm too busy to do other things, but because I'm so focused on work my days off can be quite empty. I need to work on rediscovering this. My excuse has always been the weather but now it's spring. It started last week with a quick trip, and I think once the season is over (Barcelona) I think my Saturdays will almost always be a trip to a wonderful hiking spot.
That's what I want. That's what I NEED. I have big plans again for this coming winter, but with that being said it's ever so difficult to live in the now. This moment. I'll try, I have so many little projects but it all starts today. Well, this was quite an aimless rant so I'll leave you with this quote.
