I don't do some of the things I used to enjoy doing, like travel. I'm not really sad about it, because I'm doing other things I enjoy and I chose this hiatus. I just choose to be grateful for all the travel I have done and look forward to when I can do it again.
I have a friend that lives in Amsterdam. I've been a few times, but pre-FOE me would have visited her and we would have planned some awesome trip together. I haven't seen her since Baltimore (4 years). She messaged me a while back to say she would be in the states for 10 days in September and could we get together. I knew it was unlikely. But when my temp assignment ended right in the middle of her visit, I jumped in my car and drove to the Adirondacks.
I had an amazing couple of days. It was just what I needed. We hiked Bald Mountain. Her highest peak was in India. Mine in Austria. The people in my life are amazing. They are the most important thing to me.
