Screw the Board!
East coast was cold, rainy and depressing for many days. Started to feel the weight of all the TODO lists that keep getting longer. We got a letter from our condo board about not grilling on the balcony, although we have been doing it for 5 years. All I wanted was to be back to conversations under the stars with a steak grilling over the fire. Well I figured out a way to do that, and screw the board! Grilling in the fireplace is the next best thing! [1/25/2012]

Letting go of the past
Our second week in DC we were confronted with the past - our past lives, our past apartment, our memories and all the items on our never ending TO DO list that has been accumulating over the past 5 months. We spent a week going through stuff we left behind, tossing a lot of it. One thing you learn travelling long term is that it doesn't matter - your memories are always with you and you should spend your energy living in the present instead of remembering the past! I spent about 1/2 day going through a large box full of albums of old photographs to double check they are all scanned so I can throw them away. And as I was freeing myself from my stuff, I felt myself letting go of the past and embracing the future. [1/24/2012]

We have been back for a week, but I had more time on the road! The east coast is in a deep freeze this week, we cant seem to warm up our place even with the furnace and fireplace. Having to resort to wine and vodka to deal with the cold and stress. Oh wait no, that's just for fun...[1/19/2012]
