    The West

    September 24, 2017 in Ireland ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Mild weather,a really strong "breeze" friendly horses, a band playing music in the book shop, fans celebrating the win, really good seafood chowder and brown bread, and the always stunning scenery. I like the West of Ireland.Read more

    Phasing out.

    September 26, 2017 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    I realized yesterday that my last day of work was June 21, the summer solstice, and September 21 was the autumn solstice, so I did indeed have a summer holiday. It has been very satisfying on many levels for a multitude of reasons.
    Stepping out of the rhythm of your daily life can let you relax and unwind. You become aware of the stress and pressure you live under, be it self inflicted or from outside forces.
    Life is for looking and living, and for me, looking and living in other countries is very satisfying.
    I am glad to have a job I like, it is more like a vocation really, but I am also very glad to have the summer to fully indulge in the things that get me excited and bring me joy and peace and quiet.
    It has been great fun this summer. I was lucky to have Keera'company for all the road trips, my cousins and sister in law here in Dublin, and all the peregrinos and citizens I had the pleasure to walk and talk with in Spain.
    I am grateful and thankful for the experiences.
    Now, back to work and to make plans for next year.
