Fresh, ripe canteloupe, and fat-free blueberry greek yogurt. It's the little simple things in life that help me find pockets of time where I feel the World is well, and I can relax. 3 weeks ago I was holding a lot of stress about fixing my condo, finding a renter, checking out of my command, and checking in to State Department. Now I'm in the middle of the process and I feel silly about giving time to those worries. 1 week into May and I'm already 50% of the way done. 5 weeks let and I've already found a renter for a 1 year contract, and I've found a safe place to call home in Arlington. I'm feeling a lot of pride, which isn't very common for me. Living the majority of my adult life alone has required me to try and continually impress, and entertain myself. The word of 2011 has been balance. Balance. For me, that means a balance between work, and fun. Personal life, and career. Between study, and relaxing. A successful, confident man has achieved balance in his life. This is what I must accomplish this year.
