My last blog (way too long ago) was a quote by Anais Nin that I love. It's all about how we grow up unevenly, and how past experiences, moments in the present, and dreams for the future swirl around us and guide us through life. Life is definitely swirling around me right now. Although I think I have grown tremendously over the last few years, I'm scared that I'll simply keep moving forward, ignoring what my heart, my past experiences, present moments, and future dreams tell me because its easier to do that, and before I know it I've missed out on some things that I really want for myself.
There are a few exceptions, but I'm pretty happy with my life right now. I have much to be thankful for and I have a network of friends whom I consider to be the most wonderful people I've ever met. Every day has become a new, unique adventure. Every day I meet new people. Every day turns into another fun story to tell.
That part of my life is perfect. But in other parts, I think I've reached some sort of fork in my road. The swirls around me are telling me to not let the grass grow under my feet (which is another really great quote.) There are things I want for myself that I let fall through the cracks. I know what my goals are and what I am capable of and it's either get busy and start achieving them, or let fear or lack of confidence win. I guess this blog entry is really a vow to myself to stop ignoring all the swirls, and start focusing on them.
