It’s funny that I’m in the last week of my time in Lo De Marcos.
After almost eight months of being here and establishing a simple life, it’s interesting to see how I feel and what I want as the deadline looms.
Someone asked me if I was ready to leave, and my response was, “absolutely not”…. As the adage goes, though- “it’s better to leave when you want to stay than stay when you want to leave.” That’s certainly the case for me today as I sit on the beach listening to a podcast as I write this.
I woke up very early this morning and went to watch the sun come up onto the breaking waves. It was a beautiful morning with three different dogs coming up to say hello. I commented to one owner that they could sense that I’m a dog person without a dog and needed that energy, which was beautiful.
I’m seeing friends and dining out to enjoy all my favorite things to alleviate the sense of loss that I know will come. It’s interesting to see where my desires go when I consider not being here any longer what sorts of experiences I’m craving on many different levels.
Additionally, I’ve embarked upon two projects swirling around in my head, which have been both exciting and daunting.
The most relevant is a YouTube video interview project where I simply ask a question and see what happens. The question that has become most appropriate and relevant is, “If you could have a conversation with your younger self, what is one thing that you would tell them?” It’s been enlightening and entertaining to see what they have to say. I’ll share them here as I gather them from wherever I go.
Anyway, I’ll write more about my life here in Lo De Marcos as I move on, so stay tuned if you’re interested.
Todo bien…
