Swimming upstream, or, Finding the current

Reflecting, for a brief moment, on the changes that have come my way in recent weeks.
  • My wardrobe has been pared down to business dress.  And workout clothes.
  • My schedule has been unpredictable and hectic.  I feel disorganized 99% of the time. (OK this is not different than usual.)
  • I am smiling constantly.  A whole new range of body language has begun to express itself.
  • I am starting to talk to myself.  Nicely.
  • The shoes on my feet are for style and safety.  And have been bought in the last week.
  • I see more of my husband.  And less (he is killing me in a weight-loss battle).
  • I feel closer to (and farther away) from my fierce female friends.  Go Scripps!
  • I hold my head up high.  People actually listen to the words coming out of my mouth.
  • I haven't been for a run since moving to our new house in August.
