The crescent moon is from the night sky on Saturday night. We hadn’t seen it for a few days in Western Washington, and then it appeared. I used this weekend to rest and recoup my health and energy as I was not feeling well on Friday.  I met with a physician, and I think I am doing well now with the rest I received. 

I’ve signed up with my husband to go to the gym I haven’t attended for some time now due to the security needs that I had. He will be my partner in the early morning hours that I will go to my gym. 

I will start walking for a short time and later add other exercise to this effort as I progress in strength in medical weight loss. As usual I’m doing a combination of effort. I’m using MedVi for medication and WW for logging meals. These are not recommendations as I am just sharing my story. I started with WW first for the medical weight loss medication but found the medication to be less expensive with MedVi as I am taking the oral medication. 

I’ve signed up for my next Calculus class at school. I will continue to complete the appropriate Calculus classes then physics and English refreshers while working full time. 

Why am I doing this? I receive energy from the heavens in my quiet time of reading and meditation. My husband is easing into his retirement but is also looking for employment in something different that interests him. 

This really feels like we are stepping into a new threshold. We are a little uncomfortable because we are venturing into something new we haven’t experienced since we met each other 16 years ago. It’s a kind of returning to something familiar we had at the beginning of our relationship when we met each other at the country music restaurant bar in our neighborhood. 

At that time, I was working 3 jobs 75 hours a week; my full time, a radio job and something else when I met him. I had parted ways with a previous relationship and wasn’t really looking for interaction. My bartender had good opinions of him and had known him for several years and we got to know each other. I didn’t let people buy me drinks, but he ventured to buy me a Jello shot which I let him do. 

We knew each other for 4 years before deciding to marry each other, both not planning on relationships but decided to try again with each other. Why am I writing this? Maybe it is a time of reflection I have been avoiding but needed. There are changes in our future, and this is a time to acknowledge this.  I hope this finds you well. Thank you.
