Walking the trail at Ryerson’s Woods yesterday brought back a lot of memories. It also made me decide that I’m going to have to leave Baxter home on the days I want to maximize my workout. He wants to stop so often that I lose some of the benefit of the exercise.
As I sat on the deck overlook, I asked myself again what possessed me to leave Iowa in the 1st place. It is beautiful. Really, anyplace becomes routine and ruttish. Once life becomes so predictable then we all start looking over the fence for greener grass. I guess that is part of it. I wanted a change to get out of my rut and thought it would only work with a change of scenery. It did work too, for awhile, then I fell into a new rut there and Florida lost its major appeal.
Now I’m back and I can’t help but wonder how long I have till the rut reappears in my life? I plan on doing things differently this time – staying active and doing more traveling around Iowa. Also plan on trips to Chicago and down to see Paula – I just need to get my own place and get a bit settled.
