Celebration Anticipation

Well, what's not to celebrate? I'm still alive and well despite the difficulties of the past few months, and life is still going on wonderfully as it should. You know there always has to be those moments of moodiness and fatigue, but you know life would be boring without them, right? Thankfully, I'm in a situation now where all of that is forgotten as time moves on leaving only the happy self to remain. 

It's official! I made the request for a day off, and I'm gathering ideas on what to do and when to do it. I was leaning toward wandering around aimlessly in the city; however, I'm also keen on the idea for a walk or hike. Another thing to consider is whether or not I want someone with me. I wouldn't mind having a day alone to do "my" thing, but some of those activities would be more fun and also perhaps safer with at least one companion. I think a little fresh air would be lovely, and there are a few particular walks/hikes I've wanted to do for some time now. Maybe I could finally get one of them off my list now.

There's another thing I've had on my wish list for some time, but haven't done it yet, and I'm wanting to do it perhaps in the fall around birthday time, because it can be beautiful that time of year. My only concern about these nature activities is that this year will turn disappointing, because of the severe drought. The water is low and the trees don't always have as bright of colors, but the activity itself might be fun enough to still be worth it. 

We'll make this all work in the end. Whatever happens, I'm looking forward to that day off! It's been almost a year since I've had my last one, so this is exciting!

Life is good.
