Maybe I’m adjusting to the summer heat more than I thought. Some days I feel like I’m going to melt, and yet when I walked out of work yesterday to a temperature of “only” 85 degrees, I knew it was going to be a good evening for a run. I was feeling a little out of sorts (due to a lot of stuff that I’m not going to go into here) so I decided to ditch the Gilruth trail and head to Nassau Bay. It’s my favorite neighborhood, by far, in Clear Lake and if I ever do buy a house in this area, I’d like to buy one there. The homes are older, and the look of many of them is very dated, but they have character. The tall trees and the quiet streets and the park at the back of the neighborhood remind me of the house I grew up in and the street I grew up on. As I ran last night, I passed people out walking their dogs. I passed at least a dozen kids on bikes. I passed people watering their flowers and sitting on their porches. And almost every single one of them game me a wave or a smile as I ran. It was just what I needed to coax me into a better mood.
There are a lot of things in my life that feel up in the air right now. I have the overwhelming sense that it is time to begin making some decisions.
