Yea, well that was a lie

A few of you will recall the day I declared that I needed to stop talking about when I was going to WV and just let you know when I get there. You'll recall, but I forgot. Today was a great reminder.

Left the house to do some errands and before I returned home, had agreed/made arrangements to stay here another week. The details fall under the heading of "not for the blog," although it's no big deal, really. Let's just say I'll get there when I'm supposed to get there. The house will still be (mostly) empty and waiting for me. :) There's something freeing about letting go, more and more, of the attachment to this "schedule" of mine. Can't explain it. Another "process" thing, I guess.

So yea. Not going to WV tomorrow. Think I'll go next Tuesday. Which is, of course, apparently open to negotiation. For now? Back to working in coffee shops. Because the thing that's not negotiable? I've got some work to get caught up on. A LOT of work...

Mmmm...retreat. Solitude. Gun shots that aren't directed at innocent bystanders. No BlackBerry constantly vibrating on your hip. No fires at work to be constantly putting out. Nice!

Where in WV? I've got a couple of favorite spots there, though the best is way up north on the Potomac in Berkeley Springs.

Well, you've sort of got it. Solitude: yes. Gunshots: Sure HOPE not! But I brought the technology with me. Lots of fires to be put out, and that's largely because I didn't put them out already. But although I could be delusional, I have this sense that coming here for this Alone Time will still calm me a great deal, and help me refocus on where it is I need to be next.

Near Bluefield. I don't know Berkeley Springs... like the name a lot, though.

Great to hear from you...visit again soon!
