Trying to get serious here.

It’s Tuesday morning. I’m staring at the screen of my laptop. I’m not fond of doing anything on computer. It makes me feel older than I am.

The last 2 years have been a combination of insightful, enlightening, terrifying, and mind-numbing. During it I lost my job of just over 26 years. I had wanted to leave for a few years but was always too fearful to pull the trigger on actual change. Only took a global pandemic to force that change. The stress of all the responsibility of my position did not go away though. It only changed. I suffer from anxiety. Specifically, health anxiety. A perfect trait to have during a pandemic! Guy Fieri shows on Food Network were a real sanity saver for me those early months. (We all have different ways to cope! Leave me alone!) Even with the bonus of spending more time with my family, the time of reflection revealed that something was still missing. I thought at first it was more trail running. I love running through nature. I even ran 2,000 miles in 2020, by far the most I had ever run during a year at that point! To be continued. (Talking about running has made me want to go get a run in now….)
