I woke up missing Colorado. Missing having a job and a firm to manage. Missing all the things in life that I know well. Missing the "norm" of a country that I know A to Z. Missing my old friends which were sustained over decades.
For no reason...
Maybe it was the rough rehearsal on Wednesday morning. We were too loud, and I hate that. And tempers were a little raw. I couldn't find the harmony part on a song...I really hate that!
But, on the other hand, I blew the band away with a slow blues lead on a song...I surprised myself to boot. So not all was bad.
Maybe it is the closing on our Colorado dream house in less than 2 weeks. This is our last material tie to the old life in CO. I really want to sell it but...it was our dream house after the kids moved.
Or maybe it is just the yin and yang of life.
Am I getting too philosophical for you?
Anyway, I was over it this morning.
I am busy, busy, busy now.
With 4 rehearsals a week plus all the practice I have to do just to attempt to keep up, starting to put together a business in Colombia and then squeezing in a day at the beach...whew!!!
I know, it is hard to have any sympathy for me...living in paradise and going to beach and all.
Secretly, I like it.
I have always preferred busy over inactivity. And with me going native down here, it doesn't take much to overwhelm me.
I met "me" a Olga's this morning. She was from Minnesota, Type "A", G-E-T-T-I-N-G T-H-I-N-G-S D-O-N--E!!! She had a mission--figuring out how to move her family down here. She was FOCUSED, leaning forward as she walked, with a wake of disturbed air churning behind her. Waves of frenetic energy radiating out from her epicenter.
I couldn't wait to get away. And I was sympathetic too.
This is the water we swim in for the US. It is why we accomplished so much in the US.
Too bad we forgot about some very important stuff...(you fill in the blank here.)
Time to get back to paradise. A good book, a nap, dinner out with friends. I will work on the Colombian business manana.
