I realize I'm probably overly proud of being able to feed myself tasty self-prepared food, but I'm just taking everything one step at a time in the process of becoming a well rounded human being. Frankly, you should all be delighted that you get to share in that.

So there.

As of today my bedroom and closet are the picture of simplicity. Every object in the room is in its proper place and has a purpose directly related to getting ready in the morning or being asleep. The fact that I can do a walk-through of the house and in a few minutes put everything in order and tidied up is a huge relief.

I prepared for a day with no stores open and not only did I not starve or eat a ton of junk food, I ate better than I would going out and feel fantastic at the end of it. Really the only thing I didn't accomplish today was sitting down and figuring out my budget and travel plans for the next few months. I still have to work out a bunch of those details, but even another week isn't likely to impact any of those plans.

I feel remarkably more centered than I was just a few months ago but at the same time ready to break free from the structures and artifacts I've collected around myself over the years. Something tells me I'm only a few weeks away from adventures and travels I never imagined myself having through the glares of my anxieties.
