one week to go!

The lack of "clutter" in my mind lately hasn't made life less busy. And by clutter, I mean the unnecessary things I am unwittingly subjected to on a daily basis when I am not alert. But it's more than this. Doing without has brought clarity. I've gone without any medicine (the occasional Advil), texting beyond what is necessary, Facebook and food on certain days. It's been slightly challenging and extremely refreshing. I've reconsidered friendships, activities, people, etc. But boy, have I still made mistakes! The clarity has NOT made me "better" or taken away my faults... in fact, I see them more clearly than perhaps ever before!

I think I'll take such a respite more often going forward.

For now, I am one week away from completing my little two-week hiatus. This coming week is busier than last week. Still, I'm ready to focus, do what I've gotta do, be where I get to be, and challenge myself in some harder workouts than I've done in a while.

Here we go!!!
