Creative Meanderings

That is my mind at the moment. I am not sure if I am just too tired to think or if I am so content that I don’t have much going on or if I am so much going on that I don’t know where to start. Maybe it’s a combination of everything? In any case, things are really good. I feel content – busy but content. So, I don’t know what to…

I am still enjoying the feeling of calm and joy from the other night. No, I’m not talking about sex. 😛 I’m talking about having an over four-hour night of engaging conversation over dinner and coffee with a friend. Most of my really good and true friends are the people in my life with whom I can talk on and on for hours. Take my BFF, for example. We can have marathon sessions…

So…I’m most definitely NOT in a hurry to find another relationship. However, I also think there is nothing wrong with meeting new people and maybe going on a few dates. You gotta be open to the possibilities of the right person coming along after all. 😉 Since my big event out on V-day, I have been keeping in touch with my new friends. While I do not consider that I am dating anyone…

Now that I am back in my own space again and fairly settled, I have decided to return to the world of Couchsurfing. I just feel like I am blessed with extra space in my apartment that is not being used that much, so why not offer people an opportunity to stay somewhere for free on their travels? Maybe one day I will get to do the same. My friends have said it…

Here I am again, single and wondering if it’s a good thing, a bad thing or just is? For the most part, I am enjoying being on my own again. I have a really great support group through my friends and so it is much easier to keep myself busy or to share my feelings about this process of learning to be single. However, almost all of my close friends have significant others…

Yesterday, I felt like a ball of tension. It started with a couchsurfer’s email to me calling me Sarah and not Tara. We’ve exchanged messages and she’s staying at my place starting today. However, for some reason I was super teed off by the mistake. I’m sure it was an honest one, but it shifted my day somehow. When I got to work, the printer/copy machine was not working, so even though I…

Okay, so my previous post was about unplugging and I had some lofty goals for what that meant. 😉 First, I did finish my book brief, which is a HUGE load off. While I really enjoy the work and getting a little extra cash, it does put a lot of pressure on me. So, it is a bit of a blessing that they are having some financial problems at the moment and had…

For a while I have been thinking about unplugging for one day a week. Of course, I have been putting it off because there is always something to be done. However, with this past week being what it was (busy!) and my life adjusting to new patterns, I thought it would be a good time to just give it a shot. So, I am thinking that Saturdays I will unplug. Of course, I…
