stopping the ride

cos I might want to get off. I'm getting a tad fed up with life being all over the place and not much sign of normal service being resumed. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of good bits - the weather, work challenges and even the simple facts that life is /not/ bad. I even found an old acquaintance of blogging, Mr Kennamatic, is still alive and kicking and that facebook might be a useful way to stay in touch with some people.

On the flip side however, I'm still 8000 or so miles from my love, which after [counts] 10 full months with less than an handful of weeks respite, is really starting to take it's toll. I didn't get into a long term relationship to not have one! It also means that this, adventure, that I'm having, is a lonesome and somewhat lonely journey. Whilst I'm comfortable in my own company, I'm a giver by nature and like to share things - life especially.

Lately I've been reading a lot of "self help", "management" and "life hacking" books and websites, and whilst I know why I chose to do this and those reasons haven't changed, I think I'm starting to better understand some of the things I value in life and the direction I don't want life, or at least parts of it, to take. I guess this is a good thing, but doesn't help with the current set of emotions.
