New Normal

It occurred to me this morning that my life has undergone the equivalent of a massive chiropractic adjustment in the past year. I've gone from teaching full-time (steady, consistent, no need to wander around with a spear hoping to snag the next meal ...) to self-employment (exciting, challenging, and lots of need to wander around with a spear).

I've also gone from being quite heavy to being not so heavy. There are other components here about eating better, aside from the weight loss. A general upswing in health. An increase in activity. More energy (except for at this exact moment). A greater body awareness.

It is as if someone has grabbed me by the shoulders, yanked hard, and re-aligned some essential components.

The re-alignment is good and I love the direction this is all heading. However, I need to acknowledge that it all feels a bit strange sometimes, and a bit tiring. I'm not used to it yet, really. The "new normal" hasn't settled in yet.
