Leaving Las Vegas
Sep 1, 2010 Food, Gratitude, Vacation Leave a comment
I spent a few days in Vegas last week with friends, sort of a last getaway before things really get moving in my life. I had a nice room with a king sized bed all to myself for 5 days and it was great. Outside it was pretty warm, often over 100 degrees and nearly as hot in the evenings but I wore very little and drank lots of liquids so it wasn’t so bad. I didn’t gamble much so while I lost money, the amount was carried no weight. Mostly I walked, slept, ate (a lot and well) , and shopped though very little of the latter. As with all my vacations I left relatively well rested and had learned a few things and accepted a few more.
First of all, I eat too much. I eat like I did when I was younger and while I have been making adjustments in what I eat, I’d made no changes in how much I eat per sitting so I have decided to change that effective immediately. Besides, there were a lot of mirrors in my Vegas hotel room and it has become quite clear to me that immediate changes must be made.
Secondly I’ve come to realize on how much I love my friends, regardless of how much of a friend they have been being to me. My SOP has been to just drop the ones that are negative or not really being my friends at all. Relationships are work. I get that some people are just bad friends. I also realize that some people just can’t maintain the amount of relationships they want outside of Facebook. What I’ve decided to do is only put energy into relationships that uplift my life and let the rest go. What I mean by letting the rest go is just that. I just won’t put any energy into them and that means no feelings whether good are bad. Life’s too short. There will be a few exceptions like out-of-town friends and married female friends. Those type of friends you just see when you can and it’s all good. Everyone else, I can just see on Facebook.
