Days 43-46

We've been in Jacksonville, in the jungle for 5 days now. Only a few more days before we head further south.

We've enjoyed walks on the beach and walks through the jungle. I've worked out on the deck, he's gone for a few runs. We're both focused on being healthy, eating healthy... exercising... getting those beach bods. 😂

I have my mountain bike here, there are trails through the jungle but I've been busy painting and working. Trying to get myself all caught up, organized and bring in the money. I know I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be... but the bills keep rolling in, the money keeps going out... it'll be nice when we get to our winter spot so I can REALLY focus on getting work done.

My VIP - perhaps I'll call him my fellow adventurer... he is very important to me so VIP fits - anyway, he is very good for me. He's done a few of the drives so that I can work. He's making sure I'm eating more than almonds and green drinks. He cooks dinner for us... some of you know my relationship status with food. It's never been good because my stomach just doesn't agree with a ton of food that I want to eat, so I get frustrated and just eat almonds. He's taking good care of me and fixing things I can eat. Best part, he makes the decisions on the meals. Because there's so much I love but can't eat, deciding WHAT to eat is frustrating. So I've REALLY appreciated having him here. And we're enjoying the adventures together.

We went down to Daytona Beach to check it out. That was fun. The beach was beautiful, lots of shops, restaurants and hotels. He got in the water, had fun trying to body surf... it wasn't quite warm enough for me but I was in my bikini, enjoying the beach walk. There was an artist who pulled his van onto the beach and painted. I'll have to do that... I'm sure there are permits or something though that I must procure... so I'll look into it. I also have not worked with both hands at the same time for a while now... maybe even since I left Boise. Not sure why, I just haven't. Every time I think I'm going to... either something else catches my attention or it's a travel day so the set up and tear down takes all my energy.

I'll figure it out though. Like I said, I feel like I'm getting into a groove. I will sit down and write out all my plans - all the things I'd like to do - all the things that need done - make those lists so that I can start being more intentional with my work time.

For now, I'm still letting the universe define my actions. I may not feel like I'm getting everything accomplished that needs to be but I hear my coach, Natasha Hazlett's words over and over - "you are exactly where you are supposed to be in this moment."

I trust that is truth.

Time to do some laundry - Yep, real life... not just all fun and games.

Love you all. Have a beautiful day!
