Well, I am headed to the beach. The beach is my happy place. The place where I can think clearly, relax (something I am usually incapable of) and recharge. The sound of the waves, the endless view of the water and the warmth of the sun make me feel whole.
I haven’t been to the beach for quite some time. I have surely missed it. And right now I surely need it.
I have lots to ponder. I have choices to make that mostly affect me, but since none of us live in a vacuum, they also affect others around me. They might even affect you!
The trouble with these choices is that they can change the direction of my life. And some of the choices make other choices impossible. They are mutually exclusive of one another. If I choose one thing, I can not do the other.
The kicker is that all of my choices are good. All of them have worth. Most of them I am passionate about. Most of them will make me a better person. But I have to give up some good, worthwhile things in order to do others.
Mostly I am not sure where I am called, which things are most worthwhile, which will make me most complete.
So my time at the beach feels crucial. Crucial to be away and think about what is best for me, for you, for everyone. What will make me most happy and impact most positively on the world around me.
So if for a couple of weeks I miss some great plays and I don’t write a review or an interview, please forgive me. But don’t forget me. I will be back, in some form, some capacity, some way.
I love all that I do, but at my age I realize that life is getting real. (I know, I should have realized that 40 years ago- I am a bit slow sometimes!)
So enjoy your next two weeks and send happy thoughts to me at the beach, so I feel like I am supported by you all!
