Reject or Adapt?

Image result for scaleI had a dream last night that I should try to get a loan from the bank for the RV. I have misgivings, though. It is not what I want, exactly, and I wonder if my yearning to buy it comes from my partner's enthusiasm or the fact that it is such a deal. It is sometimes difficult to separate my desires from those of others.




Perhaps this is the crux of the problem. I feel like my partner is trying to co-opt my idea again. I cannot deny how quickly the RV showed up just as soon as I mentioned it, but now, I feel myself losing steam over my project, so despite the undeniable good deal, I feel like I may need to just let him pursue this, and I'll continue in my quest.

Maybe I am more interested in making castles in the sky than sculpting reality. Am I more in love with the idea of the van? What does the van represent to me? Am I just clinging to the idea that I created instead of embracing a new wrinkle? Should I just adapt to the new development or reject it?

Welcome to the mind of a Pisces woman! I need to meditate longer.

"My friend Carol swears massage is the only thing that can help her back pain." Jim sighed as he tied his shoe. "I suppose I have tried everything else. The chiropractor says my back is fine, just the muscles are tight. My doctor gave me muscle relaxants, which I don't like to take, and our insurance only covered four physical therapy visits. Massage can't hurt my back any more than it already does, I guess."

Last 30 Days

I have not been blogging about my Peace Corps experience for a bit. There were several reasons for this. The decision to join the Peace Corps and go to Mozambique has been a deeply personal one, that has elicited conflicting responses from friends and family. I would be lying if I said that I have not had second and third thoughts about this. I am leaving my life for 27 months, and at this point, I am down to the final stages.

Happy 46th Birthday to Me

Image
I am 46 years old today. I'm celebrating my birthday from my home now in Xai-Xai, Mozambique. When I look back at my old birthday posts, it is always fascinating to see how things have changed year over year. For example, last year, I was celebrating my birthday during Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Louisiana. The year before, I celebrated with my darling Olaf  in Charleston, South Carolina. For my 43rd birthday, I was living in Key Largo, Florida .
