long weekend pondering

Happy May 2 4.

The long weekend was last weekend here in Alberta, Canada. Known as Victoria Day long weekend.

To my American neighbours to the south enjoy your long weekend. 🦅 🇺🇸

I haven’t written in a bit. I’ve tried a few times. Sat down and wrote somethings down in a notebook I have. But haven’t been gripped with that force from within that compels one to write until the truth is laying there naked on the page.

There’s a lot that’s happened and is happening in the past month or so. I think it’s been good for me. Key words, “I think”.

Have I been doing things for me or for others approval? Perhaps it’s both. Perhaps it’s ok to want others approval. Perhaps that’s a human thing to be experiencing.

I have the option to run for politics again here in the 2027 provincial election.

Will I do it. I’ve been thinking about it.

I have until the end of this week to decide if I want to run. Really I should decide today or tomorrow so I can reach out to the right people to get me nominated in the party that is likely to support me.

I guess that’s only if I want to run with that party.

Probably will be more successful than running on my own. But probably will come with some compromises.

Huh. 🤔. Decisions, decisions.

If I don’t run, what then?

I have my half Ironman at the end of July. There is the 21 week MMA camp that starts end of August I want to do.

A bachelor party in June. Stampede and a wedding in July. My brother’s weddings in August. Another wedding in October.

I told my youngest brother I’d do the Vancouver half marathon with him May next year. My friend said he’d like to join for that.

The question is how do I afford all that? That’s the question I’m asking myself right now.

Cortisol spike.

Breath. One thing at a time.

God will show me the path.
