I have been hiking every week, which I absolutely love. Nothing makes me calmer or more content than walking with my dog through a cool, breezy mountain under the stars with my hiking group. I have half-heartedly gotten back online, and even have a coffee date scheduled for this week. I haven't been so good about staying off the internet but hey, one day at a time. I'm still job hunting but am also grateful to even have this dead-end temp job, so I will stop complaining about that as well.
I had a pumpkin carving party at my house on the day before Halloween. It was good to be with family and friends for a few hours and not talk about myself at all. We had contest for cutest pumpkin, scariest pumpkin and most creative pumpkin. I am still working my way through all the candy and pumpkin seeds.

This weekend I went to a friend's birthday party at the horse races in Santa Anita, which was super fun. We got all dolled up and had a great time. I didn't know any of the guests beforehand but it didn't matter. We all placed our $2 bets and had a blast. We even got to meet one of the horse owners and watch a horse get saddled up for his race. Man, those jockeys are TINY! I always knew they were small but I had no idea how small you really have to be to be a jockey.

So, slowly but surely, I am making my way back into the world. Some days I do sink back into the woe-is-me moods, but I find ways to console myself, like by watching a good movie or reading a good book or walking my dog.
I still have a long way to go, and am not even sure where I am going, but I am hoping to get there eventually.
