and then may happened...

as per chris' request, i'm going to "post more" - perhaps it has been *slightly* long overdue. :oP

it certainly has been a while, though - all of a sudden, it's may and the familiar smell of freshly cut grass outside hints to me that spring is in full-bloom. lately, i've been feeling rather distracted and pre-occupied by a myriad of things; and so my regular blogging habits have also somehow faded into the backdrop of life's crazy busy-ness and chaos in the process.

i finally made the decision to quit retail and handed in my 2-weeks notice last week. may 15 marks the day of my emancipation :o) as much as i did enjoy the whole experience of it all (for the most part - mind you, the discounts also helped :oP), the stress of "SELL! SELL! SELL!" along with the constant "whirlwind-ness" of literally running/driving from one job to the next from monday to friday was becoming a little too taxing for me, leaving me on the brink of losing what was left of my precious sanity. to say the least, 'twas anything but a good thing. i'm hoping the time regained will open up opportunities to find some balance and help me seek the serenity and solace that i've found myself so desperately missing these past few months.

and now with with the warmer climates kicking into full gear with summer not too far behind, i'm looking forward to taking some quality time to really take in and appreciate the little things that make life so wonderfully beautiful - of which also includes spending some time writing up a storm, a whoppin' load of road trips and bbqs with folk of the fantablous kind, a euphoria of camping wonderment, catching the odd sunset; and of course, indulging myself with a bowl of green tea ice cream every once in a while. :o)
