A moment to stop

Already August - another year flying right past me.  Two weeks from now, I'll be on the beach of Hilton Head Island and (hopefully) taking in sun and not thinking about anything and everything.  

I'm not stressed about particulars; while this temp position has been very good and enjoyable (and keeping me afloat), it would be nice to have a sense of whether or not it will convert to permanent, since I'm now in the fifth month of being here.  And that's simply logic - not fear or impending negatives; nothing like that.  Just a chance to exhale would be helpful.  I'm still sending out resumes and trying to network, but it would be welcome to actually have them say "please stay".  It's a good place; nice people; relaxed atmosphere.  It would be great to be part of it for the extended future.

Everything else is still a relaxed sort of drift - lessening ties with people has had a very positive effect.  No arguments or aggravations; no having to be besieged with unnecessary psychodramas or histrionics.  If having fewer people in your life when you're older does wonders for your health, then I'm all in.  

A minor thing - I did finally pick up a guitar for the first time in God-only-knows how long; it was with the purpose of changing the battery (it was in the Taylor acoustic/electric) but I'm stunned by how it's stayed in tune.  This weekend might be a nice time to see if I still have dexterity and memory in place for attempting a song or two.
