It seems like I’ve only found time to blog when I’m sitting in an airport waiting for a plane. Weird.

Summer is almost over. That makes me happy. It seems odd, because I used to love the summertime in Wyoming and Arizona, but in Kansas... and currently in Georgia, I just really don’t care for the oppressive mugginess. It’s just gross when you get out of the shower and start sweating. It’s unconvenient to have your shades fog up when you get out of the car. Plus, muggy heat makes me sleepy.

This summer has all but reversed the trend of the last two summers. I’ve almost got my old body back... at least around the middle. I’m still down thirty pounds from my peak, but I need to be motivated to hit the gym. It’s frustrating because I’m heavy enough now to where I’m breathing hard enough during workouts to discourage me. I’ve been watching what I eat, but I’m not sure exactly what to do from here.

Anyway, at least I’m not crawling back into my shell. I’ve had a blast this past week in the south, and I must say that these Georgia girls have been delightful! The past couple of nights, I’ve managed to wander into a birthday party each night and I’ve had a lot of fun with the girls at the parties. Now, that wouldn’t have happened two years ago!

I’m finding out some new qualities I never knew I had. I guess you could say I’ve always been selective, but I’ve always felt I had to settle in the past. Now, as I’m talking to the girls I meet, I’m qualifying them... and they always try to become qualified. However, if they’re annoying, I’m strong enough to walk away. If we have nothing in common, again, I’ll leave. If we vibe well, I can stay in the conversation for hours.

I’ve come a long way, that’s for sure. Now I just need to determine exactly what I’m looking for... because as long as I don’t know what I want, it’s hard to determine what I’ll get.

At least I’m finally strong enough to figure it out and stick with it!
