Back on Track
Thanks so much for all your thoughts and kind wishes - I've been a bit absent these days, due both to work travel and refocusing.
I think things are getting on track. I've been so much better at exercising regularly and I know that's making a difference in my mood. I often don't want to go to the gym or resent going, but I know how much better I feel afterwards. One of these days, I would like to get to the point where I look forward to going to the gym. I was there around this time last year, so I have high hopes I can get back to that point.
D and I decided we are going to try and do an around-the-world ticket this year for our annual pilgrimmage to Australia to see his family. The plan so far is five or six days in Los Angeles with my family, two or three days in Sydney with friends, about ten days in Melbourne with his family and then three or four days in Hong Kong. I've never been to Hong Kong, and am looking forward to that part a lot! D knows it really well, and insists we must get suits made. He claims to know a particularly good tailor, so we shall see about that.
I have one more big work trip this year, then I think things will quiet down. On Sunday, I'm heading to the Philippines for a media law conference. It's a long flight, but there will be sunshine and warmth, so as far as I'm concerned, they can fly me as far as necessary to catch some vitamin D. Even if I'll be in conference rooms for most of it, I'll know the sun is out there (amidst the thunderstorms, that is!), and that's enough for me!
