Danielle posts on my Facebook wall that the countdown for our trip to England & Germany has begun. It doesn't seem possible but it is less than three weeks away now! I've not scrap booked and organized everything from Greece yet and this one is here already. Time truly does fly when you are having fun. It's all good though, really it is.
I was feeling reflective about my life today. As my friend Liz says I've been living in fast forward. I don't regret a thing. I've made some tough decisions, I've traveled down roads that I was unfamiliar with and opened doors just to see what's on the other side. I've put myself in position to receive opportunities and act upon them. Life has been changing fast and in some ways not at all. For those that think their best years are behind them I say you're wrong, it's what you make of today and pay forward to tomorrow that counts.
There's a line in a Tim McGraw song that goes something like "...if you're gonna run with me it's gonna be a wild ride..." I'm not boring. A man once said to me that other men couldn't keep up with me. I'm sure he'd say the same if he saw me now. I don't expect anyone to keep up with me. Let me do my thing. My life is kinda crazy, too busy at times, and overwhelming. I wouldn't change a thing - I've met some great people, had some new experiences, learned a lot about the world and myself. I've reconnected with people from the past, made connections with people from today and I'm finding myself in all of this madness. I'm probably more comfortable in my own skin now than I ever was.
I want someone to know that I don't expect this all to last. Life's cycles, ups and downs, pick a phrase, will come back around and there will come a time when I'm sitting around wondering what there is to do. My world contracts every so often, now is the expansion period and I just go with it. One day my world will shrink again and the memories, the laughter, the camaraderie I form now will carry me through those days.
