Cruising Into Final Quarter 2011
Oh my, it has been a while since I’ve written here and quite honestly I’m feeling teenager-awkward about it. There’s no “writer’s block” to speak of; more like “crap, where do I start?”
I’m just going to blurt things out…rendering my natural wit and humour raw. 
We wrapped up the summer with a spur of the moment trip to Kincardine. A great big thank you to Colette who shared her hometown with our little family. A highlight was becoming part of the grand finale piper parade and the waterfront of course! Ellie was in charge of the camera at various times and what catches her eye is wonderful. I have a series of colourful garbage cans, awesome shots of a Peace Garden and topped off with some street art. She continues to fascinate me.
Coffee is good.
People are people.
Sometimes you just gotta take a leap of faith.
I have leapt…and here’s where I’ve landed in regards to my bigger life picture: I’m winding down Nimble activities and stepping stronger into my life goal of my next entrepreneurial adventure. When people come around and say “Hey! Where the heck have you been…” I smile and thank them for telling me they missed me! Secondly, I tell give them the Reader’s Digest of the last two years with a climax of “…some people go back to school to learn a new skill. I’ve gone to work, armpit deep, in learning my next new business. All the while supporting my family in a more reliable way.” So now that I’ve found the right words to explain what I am doing, you’ll be seeing more stuff in Nimble world reflecting that too.
Also noteworthy, you won’t be seeing me on Facebook as much…and likely more will come from my personal Twitter account @jnnfrmrry and less from @nimbleassistant I’m enjoying the face to face encounters with great personality. So when I’m home in the evenings, I tend to keep to myself so I can digest all I’ve learned that day. Recognizing my sensitivities has helped tremendously in honoring that part of me and I endeavor to continue that discovery. I’m far more present in my time with the kids since I have less thought-leakage to Nimble stuff. (Yes, that was a gross image but a necessary one.) We even went to the beach last Tuesday night (on a whim) and had the whole thing to ourselves. You know how it’s good to follow your heart’s desire; I will never forget the evening watching them play (without the summer beach fanfare.) My cup runneth over.
First Day of School 2011 - Grade 3 & Grade 1
So we’re doing more than okay. Mason had his 8th birthday, my dad his 60-something’eth and we’ve survived another first day of school. (Don’t these two look like teenagers?!)
We’re getting real solid in “us.” And who knows what’s next…I’m open and willing to receive.
Thank you for all your thoughts; I may not hear them with my ears but I feel them in my heart.
Here’s to the “wonderful” in each of us!
In nimble spirit,
JCM
