I really took a complete vacation this time. No work, no posting, no worries
I am so glad you took that break before you got the D rolling. Some D process angst is unavoidable. You sound like you have reached a good calm-state equilibrium and are prepared to mentally handle whatever the next few months bring your way.
I have allowed 15 months to go by w/o a real vacation. Your post is reminding me to make taking one a priority... I can see how the lack of a total worry free/work free vacation is taking a toll on my ability to maintain my mental equilibrium.

Somehow, I even managed to find a patch of snow they could hike to and we had a snowball fight in August...
Snow in August - you must have been high up! How fun!

Not yet, but I am working on it! It definitely let's you know you are alive.
I imagine it is a challenge to work on mountain biking in Florida! LOL!

actually the rattlesnake we saw on the first day was the worst part!
Was it a happy - I am curled up in my space rattlesnake or a threatened rattling snake. I am afraid of things that bite but it really is so cool seeing animals in their natural habitat.

As you would say AG, life is good, very good!
I stopped the daily journaling roughly four weeks ago with the goal of increasing my interactions with real people. I had not actually stopped to think this in awhile. I need to start thinking about life being good and why everyday again.
Actually your post to me about whether I was continously working on myself to avoid an R was so on point. It set of a thought process in my brain. My goal is to process things in real time and take a few emotional risks and talk to real people more. I was using this BB to process those parts of myself that I was afraid to share with the real world - here. And then going out into the real world "appearing" totally in control of my life.
That is not realistic or healthy. Thank you for that kernel of wisdom.
I missed the calm tone of your posts. Nice to see you back.
