Canoe trip was really nice. Started out a bit awkward because I was the only one alone but they ended up putting me in a canoe with a state guide so ultimately it worked out fantastic because it was like I was on my own private tour! And, I didn't even have to paddle at all. Just kicked back and enjoyed the ride.

I am realizing how very much I love to do things on my own. I love spending time with friends too, of course, but it's so empowering to know I can go plan something all by myself and have a fantastic time. Not only do I not really need H but I really don't particularly NEED anyone! When I think back, I've always enjoyed alone time, I guess with kids and all it's just been such a long time since I've had to occupy this much time by myself. I definitely feel like I'm rediscovering things about myself I'd lost along the way.

Thinking about getting up early tomorrow and finding someplace really awesome to go for a run. Then some shopping, then the concert trip with H. Feeling really good!
