Gypsy Wind

I am currently sitting at the front desk of Simply Massage in Breckenridge looking out the window. There is a small market place set up in Main street station boasting booths with mainly novelty gift and clothing items facing a few rows of chairs in front of a tiny stage where an older hippie woman is tuning a guitar. The clouds are rolling in and the wind is picking up, this should be fairly entertaining.
It's Father's Day. Oh how I miss my sweet Dad... When I think about my life these last few years without him I am aware just how much. I picture him cheering me on and telling me he is proud of me, but what I wouldn't give to hear his voice again...

I have just returned from a mini west coast adventure in which I drove out to Chico, California and spent some time with my friend Mikey who has kind enough to let me crash at his place for a week, and an interesting week it was too. I meet up with some extended family I hadnt seen since I was a little girl. The weather was simply gorgeous! I dearly miss those warm nights, Breck is NOT warm at night, and good company. I continued on to Eugene, Oregon for the last two days of my trip which is only about 5 hours north of Chico. I wanted to go see all my friends there, I lived there for nearly five years, but I knew I wouldnt be able to so I spent a Day at the coast with my Juliana hiking the dunes with our sandboards and finding some fun lines.
I set out on the trip knowing that I needed to make a change. As much as I love Snowboarding and living in the mountains, after my second season here, my second long-ass bitterly cold winter here, I realized it not the bet fit for me and the long term goals I have, its like living in a rich persons playground, unless you make a shit ton of money its nearly impossile to have a quality permanent residence, Im getting to the point now where I want grown up things i.e. my own practice, a house and some stability, Im begining to feel like a grown up trying to survive in Never Never Land.It's been an adventure, I dont regret my decision to move to Breck and there are definetly aspects of living here I will miss but on the trip back here from Oregon I realized I miss it, I miss the Ocean and the climate, qwerky little Eugene and how it smells of Lavender. All the lovely people I know there so, Im going back. Going back is a new adventure in itself for me, I have never gone back to someplace, I have always gone someplace new so the fact that I have a desire to return tells me that it is a good fit and Im anxious to return and start my life there. I will be getting a place to live with my dear friend Juliana at some point this Summer
Now I am just trying to get all my ducks in a row, I will need to take a practical exam to obtain my Oregon Massage Licence so I am studying for that and trying not to get overwhelmed by all the hassels of moving, but everything will work out I am confident.

The sun has decided to make an appearence and this little blue grass trio outside of the studio has attracted a modest crowd. Life is sweet.
