Every dream I have been having is about hiking. \u00a0The dream I just awoke from was about this beautiful canyon. \u00a0 I was setting up our tent (which was HUGE and not the 1 man tent I have) and I tell Dan and Tabitha that I need the poles to spike. Dan brings me over my trekking poles and they are chewed off at the end. \u00a0I asked what happened and he told me ‘big ants ate them.’ \u00a0That means something, i’m just not sure what.<\/p>\n
I’m signed up for my snow shoe class. \u00a0As predicted, I got tired of waiting and signed up and I have a hockey friend of mine going with me. \u00a0What’s strange is that she is on my photo a day group and we run around in all the same circles, but we have never actually met in person. \u00a0Now we are signed up for a day long snowshoeing class and she’s joining me! \u00a0We are both into photography, hiking and getting outside more so this should be fun. \u00a0I signed up for a couple of trail runs too and I put them out there and people said they want to join me, but come race day I am sure I will be toeing up to the start line alone.<\/p>\n
Today is my counseling session. There a couple things I want to talk to him about. \u00a0Recently someone I pushed out my life a million years ago has come back. \u00a0 This has happened a few times in the past year and instead of holding on to that anger, I decided to let it go and listen to what they had to say. I have been blessed with being able to forgive them for what they did. \u00a0This is one of those opposite things though. \u00a0Even though this person isn’t asking for forgiveness from me. \u00a0They just want to hang out and catch up.
\nThis person isn’t a ‘hang out and catch up’ kind of person in my life. \u00a0This is someone I have kept at arms length for 20 plus years. \u00a0 I need to ask my therapist if I need to stop keeping this person in a box. \u00a0It’s so complicated he might tell me to run. \u00a0I think I would be sad if I did that though. \u00a0Weird.<\/p>\n
My friend Amanda said, This sounds like it went from 2016 to 20KRISTINE. \u00a0 I just wish the holidays were over and my new year was started already.<\/p>\n
I think I will meditate the new year in with thoughts of letting go of the past. \u00a0 Last night I heard a line, “every step forward begins with a foot firmly planted in the past.”
\nI was on a hike awhile back and I had one of those moments where things seem to make sense and I knew what I needed to do. \u00a0I needed to recognize when I KNEW I was doing something that wouldn’t benefit my future Self and stop focusing on the current Self. \u00a0There is something so powerful about the past and holding on to things you know aren’t good for you. \u00a0It’s a mistake I’m not ready to make…again. \u00a0 Or am i?<\/p>\n
