What a crazy past few months. Figuring out a road map for my life isn't as easy as I once thought it was. I think something every one strives to attain comes down to one thing....a purpose in life. Or, at least it does for me. And that's what I've been obsessing over lately. "What am I going to do with my life?" "Is this all there is?" "I want more."
And so, I've been chasing something that I can't see...or seem to find. While it's great to have an ultimate goal, or dream, you can't ignore the realities of life. And you can't forget to enjoy the journey along the way. Don't forget, all the little moments you encounter along the way add up. It's in those "little" moments that can have a huge impact. In fact, as I reflect on my last few months (which have been full of trial end error) it's those passing moments that hit me in a huge way. And I'm glad I held on to them....they keep me moving forward.
When my world feels like it's up in the air, I have always turned toward the comfort in writing. There is something inviting and secure in the process for me. It's where I feel safe, in control, and like I have something to offer the world. For once in my life, I feel....special. And so, I have started writing another book. My characters are developed and the plot is moving forward.
To wrap things up, if you ever feel like you're lost or struggling to find your way, take a breath. You're not the only one out there who is trying to make the puzzle fit. Life passes us by so quickly, don't forget to make memories along the way. It's in the darkness that memories of joy and happiness shine. Let the light shine through. Keep on smiling, and keep on going. Everything will come together when the time is right. Sometimes, you have to appreciate the journey and the memories made along the way.
