Today this journey became very real.
I started packing today.
I have 18 days left in Denver.
***************
I love Mondays because most people don't. I love Mondays because they are my Sunday. They are Mydays- or Medays- or Bridays.
I get them all to myself to do whatever I please. I always plan how the day will be achieved and get excited about crossing off the tasks on my list of to dos.
To start Myday- I treat myself to a latte and often a delicious breakfast too} like the one pictured from http://www.parisontheplattecafeandbar.com/ that I enjoyed today! I try switching up my coffee shop locations. Today's location topped the coffee shop charts! A fun atmosphere, eclectic crowd and a solid breakfast!
Recently I have been spending my coffee shop hour(s) by researching a place to live in Australia. I have been a bit lost and indecisive about what city I would like to live in. How I was ever going to figure that very question out was a mystery. UNTIL...this past Friday!! Breaking News! I am headed to the Gold Coast. Thanks to a wonderful family- that I have yet to meet- but whom invited me to stay in their home anyway! They live 10 minutes from Broadbeach. Key word BEACH! I am going to be living 10 minutes from a beach! (cue audience applause and cheering now)
SO- this means today's Monday I was able to switch things up a bit and research for JOBS! Normally job hunting is a daunting task BUT when you are looking for part time/casual jobs along the beach it is VERY exciting!

Medays often mean trying something new. Sometimes out of my comfort zone. I look at it as training for the day I land in Australia and don't know what to do with myself. "Doing" will be a necessary evil as I will have the urge to ball up in a corner somewhere and dream of seeing someone familiar- like my Mom and Dad. (This situation occurred when I landed in Scotland -I found myself in a red phone booth wishing I could call home- I am mentally preparing myself for it to happen again) I will have to keep occupied, I will have to introduce myself to strangers, I will have to ask for directions, for help, for a friend...
So, in order to soften the blow- I continue my training here in Denver
new coffee shops | new yoga practices | new recipes | conversations with strangers-new friends | new perspectives
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The countdown to Australia continues. One Task at a time.
One Monday at a time.
