Our weekend travels...

So, here we are in the "no" again. It seems like we have never left, but for some reason it is now feeling like we are visitors from out of town. I guess you will always feel comfortable in your home town. However I feel like I am no longer a newbie in Paso Robles. I think I knew this day would come. I can't live in denial forever. There is always a possibility of never coming back here for good, although I will never give up the hope. I don't think there is any sort of possibility that we will live in Paso for too long, therefore I am now thrying to make the most of it. Hello... we practically live at the beach. We live somewhere where people come for vacation! So I will now make a list of things I like about the situation we are in now that I am blessed by.

*Hello...Pismo, Avila, Morro Bay, Cambria...the BEACH
*We are in a place people actually want to come to, as opposed to the armpit of the state.
*Really, not being so far away that you feel homesick and desperate.
*Avila Barn, the Mineral Springs, SLO downtown, other fun places that are yet to be discovered. (We need to check out Hearst Castle, and Montana de Oro)
*The family situation...John being home at night, me not having to work.
*The hills in Paso for walking
*Not having so many "interesting" people to deal with and avoid
*Meeting new people, something I am not good at, but could end up being a blessing in the future.
*Having a new perspective on life...really I think I am changing and starting to believe that we could end up having a pretty interresting life. I think I might actually want an interresting life...something I think I have been afraid of (I feel as though I want to elaborate on this someday... thanks Beth Moore)
*(Knock on wood) I have found it easier to avoid depression.

*The cleaner air

This all being said, there are some major reasons I want to get back. They are all HUGE and quite relevant, however I have come to terms with the fact that if all our ducks were in a row, life wouldn't be interresting. I am submitting to the idea of a daily routine. I want my life, however, to have some spice every once in awhile.

Again I am ranting, but what else is a blog for...?
