So I'm leaving for Canada on Wednesday- my yearly summer trip to be with all my relatives. Because I only get to spend time there twice a year I idealize the place. I don't think its a bad fantasy to have- I think of Ben Eoin (the name of the town where our cottage is) as a relaxing place that helps me get my head clear. Whenever I feel overwhelmed I picture myself there and I feel more at ease. Maybe its the country air that smells like freshly cut sweet grass or perhaps all the salt water my body absorbs from swimming everyday or just the fact that I'm away from the chaotic lifestyle I live in New Jersey, but I believe that the wounds I've collected over the past year have time to mend themselves there. Maybe they won't be completely fixed in two weeks, but at least I have time to take care of my own well being.
This year I have a list of things that I want to make sure I do.
- continue my writing- poetry, journal, thoughts etc,
- continue my artwork that I started in London- water colors, collages
- finally get time to read some books!
- study for the GREs =( boooo
- have an amazing time with my family and friends!
- eat tons of Lebanese food! haha
I'm looking forward to cutting back on my cell phone and Internet usage, but I will keep in touch to prevent myself from going crazy.
