I've been itching to travel lately. The thought of Hawaii in less than 2 months excites me, but that still seems really far away. & I want to go somewhere now. There really isn't anything to get away from. I just want to get away from this routine I have gotten in since currently being jobless. Oh.. you didn't know I quit my job?
Yes, I quit my job 1 month ago. Life. Is. Too. Short. to be miserable doing something you don't really feel fulfilled doing in the first place. I am new to Austin. My year anniversary of living here is almost here.
So with my "spare" time I've decided to get out & do some exploring.
Who knew this amazing 9+ mile trail was less than a block from our new neighborhood??
It is literally a town lake of it's own, but minus the millions of people & dogs.
I went out the other morning to go for a walk.
It's going to be raining here for the next week or so.. so I knew I better get my walks in while I could.
I snapped a couple of photos along the way.
Probably saw 3 people during my hour long walk/photo session.
It is extremely secluded. I feel like I am in a different place when I am here. Almost on vacation.
This is just another example of how lucky I am to be where I am with the person I am with.
Enjoy :)

I know the itch you're talking about. Usually I leave for a few weeks on vacation during winter, and didn't go this year so I feel like I NEED to go somewhere! Kudos on being brave enough to quite your job if you didn't like it, it's not worth it to be unhappy for even 1 day of your life! Lastly, Austin looks so gorgeous. Those pictures are beautiful. That water picture kills me. I want to be there in the summer!
I quit my last horrible horrible job- like you, I decided life is too short to spend so much of my time miserable! Your walk looks lovely :) I should head out for a walk today too!
Hope you're having a great week!

OH. my goodness. Just reading that "snake habitat" sign gave me shivers. I can't even imagine the horror. Also, good for you quitting your job! Life is too short.
