As mentioned in my last post, today is the fourth anniversary of leaving New Jersey for Oregon. I've spent the last 3-4 days thinking and writing about my approach for the next four months. I've decided that my new chapter needs to start with smaller chunks of time. I decided to focus on May-August as my timeframe to start implementing some changes. I am not going to document the specific changes on the blog because I do want some semblance of privacy on what I hope to achieve. Who knows...maybe I will report on my progress at the end of August.
I will say that I feel content. I'm not reflecting at all on the last four years, or why I feel such a strong urge to make changes. I just know it is time. Other than wanting to sic some cats on the neighbor's barking dog, I am at peace with where things stand in my life.
On a less heavy note - my dreaded neighbor did tell me this afternoon that he has seen a lot of raccoons hanging out on my deck. He would know since he is out there at all hours of the night talking super loud. God knows, the dog wouldn't tell me if a raccoon family set up camp on the deck with a fire and roasted hot dogs. I guess I should be grateful that the neighbor wanted to let me know so I wouldn't leave Elston on my back porch in the evening. Right. She would only give up her bed if a pile of greenies was sitting on the deck.
