Wandering the neighbourhood

Spent a few hours yesterday wandering around the surrounding area of my new abode.  Found the closest mall, not that I am a shopper by any means, but to have everything I need in one place.  You know like the dry cleaners, specialty stores, groceries.....for those days when I just want to get in and get out.

There is a sweet little part of this area with funky shops and little ma and pa shops too so have been walking in and engaging them in conversation.  I was dressed a bit more "spiffy" yesterday and I did notice that people are a bit suspicious as most people out this way are more "country" and jeans inspired but once I got going, they were most welcoming.  Feels good.

I have always felt somewhat like I am "different" regardless of the situation or the place I am.  Need to realize that while yes, we are all different, there is nothing wrong with being unique.  That has been something I have had issues with my entire life, yet not understanding where it came from.  Perhaps all those years where I have no memories are filled with the reason for how I perceive of myself.  I sure do know that I am discovering so much about me now that I have distanced myself from my "old" life and neighbourhood.

I also joined a gym yesterday so will be off there shortly to get back into my regular workout routine.  I have generally gone to the gym 4 or 5 times a week so not going for the past couple of months has been strange.  Nice to note however that I have not fallen apart and still "look" the same.  Just notice that I don't feel as "tight", if you know what I mean.  Won't be a problem now as once I get back in the flow of exercise, I'll be back the way I like myself to be.

Made dinner for my roomie and her boyfriend last night.  Was nice to finally get a chance to talk with him as she is being rather stingy with sharing him at all.....smile.  Ah, yes new love...ain't it grand.  He is a nice guy too and I can see that they compliment one another well.  It is also great that we have enough room for both of us to have our individual privacy and spaces for when we entertain gentlemen.  So again, another plus for this living arrangement that I have manifested.

Life is good and I am feeling very blessed.

Have a good one.
