As much of the past 9 months, the past week specifically has been a slow blur. Part of me still thinks we’re in the quarantine of July 2020. And nope, here we are November 29th.

The best part of the past 7 days has been that I’ve been able to do so much. Check things of my internal check list, if you will. Had a quick two and a half day work week, drove to my parents for the thanksgiving week holiday, enjoyed a friendsgiving and a thanksgiving, got a tattoo, finished a massive commissioned painting, and now… Im back to blogging.

Even a couple days off not starring at a computer screen has done my mental so much good. I feel a bit refreshed and rejuvenated going into a new 5 day work week. But I still know I need a vacation, like a real vacation. Been thinking about Hawaii… a lot. We’ll see though - as we’re still in the midst of this pandemic and numbers have not been good.

The statement of “are we going to continue to live in fear” has been on my mind a lot. The crazy part of this virus is that we just don’t know who has it and who doesn’t. Sure you can test negative, as I have been consistently, but you literally just never know when you’ll interact or touch something that contains it.

Even this trip to Hawaii, i’ve been contemplating it over 3 weeks now and in that time frame I could have just went already. Am I going to keep pushing it, living in fear?

I dont know the answer to that.

What I do know, is that I need to keep pushing towards my goals.

I need to keep going.
