Well, it’s here.
Today is the last day.
I have had such an amazing 30 days of Megan.
I have tried new foods.
Held a baby.
Gotten hugged.
Watched Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along.
Gotten my hair cut.
Taken pictures.
Seen people who live far away.
Received presents in the mail.
Eaten a lot of candy.
Written strong words.
Received a lot of compliments.
Danced
Talked on the phone
Worn a big purple flower in my hair
Rocked out to music
Told stories
Taught my classes
Went to yoga
And felt incredibly loved.
It’s been an amazing 30 days.
While I am sad it is over, I’m excited.
I know there is so much more coming.
That’s why I made a list of 30 things to look forward to.
They are either things I hope or know are coming.
It’s a little like a bucket list-you’ll see things on there I’ve never done before.
You’ll also see things I’ve done plenty of times but need to do again.
I committed the list to my body, today.
It’s my way of looking forward.

CELEBRATING PERFORMANCE PART 2!
The first year I moved to Fargo, ND was incredibly lonely.
Don’t get me wrong, I was happy.
I just worked all the time.
I often was in my office more than my apartment
I became best friends with the night security guard who locks up our office building.
I traveled a ton.
I took on a lot.
I coached so much.
The one thing I would allow myself was watching NCIS at night while I ate food. I watched the entire series from beginning to end. The characters became my friends.
When I was in the middle of the NCIS series, I found a deal at Best Buy: The first two seasons of CSI for $20. And CSI: Miami. And CSI: NY.
Somewhere in there, I snuck in the entirety of Criminal Minds, thanks to my sister’s love for the show. When she visited one time, we watched like eight episodes together. It was amazing.
I’m not a huge TV person.
But these shows allow me a story.
Characters.
Mystery.
Escape.
Most of all, something to do to relax.
30 days of Megan is almost over.
Today I will celebrate by relaxing.
With my body pillow.
And a cop show or two.
