Josie's on a vacation far away...

Almost every morning that I spent in the little Thai village with Stacia, I woke up to her singing the words above to me. You might recognize them from the Outfield "classic" Your Love. Every time I hear this song, it makes me smile.

It's been awhile since I've written, and I realize this site is starting to look more like a tribute to my family than anything else, so I thought I'd try to give an update about me. I just got back from another fun weekend trip, which might have just qualified as a vacation from the vacation that is currently my life, and all of a sudden it's September... not quite sure how that happened.

I'm finding that for all my big talk about being content to let things just fall into place, and relax, and not worry too much about "what's next", that there are definitely moments in which this is much easier said than done. Found myself in the midst of a mini existential crisis yesterday... worked my way out of it by cutting my own hair (this is strangely cathartic, and probably one of my favorite "uh-oh, bad choices"), taking a long walk, and having a good dinner, replete with good wine and even better company.

So, for those of you still keeping track, I still have no established game-plan. I am mostly OK with this, and I do continue to trust that things will work out as they should. I am trying to take an open-handed approach to everything that comes my way... letting things come into my life as they will without trying to hold on too tightly... I don't want to get too hokey but I do tend to believe that the harder you try to hold onto things (whether these things be money, or possessions, or people, or expectations) the more they slip away from you...

Anyhow, not much of an update I suppose, but suffice to say that life is good, and I'll keep you apprised as I continue to figure out what's next...
