Have been wallowing in being home the last week or so, cleaning flower beds, laying mulch, planting here and there and enjoying splashing a bit in the pool. I am feeling recharged and focused. I found out I did not get the new job, and my biggest emotion was relief, and perhaps a bit of self-evaluation, asking myself what skills I need to work on, so when the job comes along that I want, I will be ready. Have simply been feeling thankful and grateful for my life. I started a 30 day poem challenge, again I made 3 days, but I am going to keep trying during the 30 days, I will likely have to start over at 1, 5 times or more, but if I make 3-4 days each time, I'll have 15-20 poems at the end of the month. I am okay with that. I have been writing environmental poems, something I joke about, as I always say I don't write environmental poems, thing is I do, often. It's an occupational hazard of being an environmental scientist/poet. These are poems I need to write for me. Of late I am still not submitting, and I am okay with that. This weekend I am going to take off Friday, so I can have a 4 day weekend, and I am simply going to wallow in being home and write. Yes, write.
