I am recharging in Spain, even though I am doing a full-time online training course and other things. I feel tired, which I think means I’ve switched off the adrenaline supply I normally depend on.
It’s time to switch back to reading some self-help and personal growth books and put the professional certifications aside.
Isabel sent me a picture and video of Grace at the care home, singing out loud. It was a heartwarming moment. I don’t think I could come to Spain regularly for the foreseeable future because I want to be with Grace. Additionally, I need someone to wake up next to someone, stroll along the beach with them, and share a relaxing dinner with them.
t’s only been a few days since I left Spain, but I already miss Grace so much! Being away from her has thrown off my routine and left me feeling a bit lost. I’m starting to think about what life will be like without her, which is a difficult and emotional topic for me.
Having friends stay over in Spain is also taking some getting used to. Andy and Tricia are great, but after spending so much time on my own over the past few years, I’m not used to having company around all the time. Tricia even asked me if I get lonely, which is something that used to be a big issue for me, but now I’ve become more comfortable being alone.
On a more mundane note, I’m relieved that my CISSP course is over. It was incredibly dull, and I’m glad to be done with it.
Yesterday, I had a great meal with Andy and Tricia at a restaurant in Santiago de Ribera called Restaurante Carmen Playa. The food was delicious, and they even treated me to dinner. I’m grateful to have such wonderful friends.
