It’s amazing how fast time goes by. It’s been a fare while since I’ve found a moment to post anything here. But today, at last, I have a moment to breath and think things over. The last twelve months have not been the easiest for me. A year ago today my father passed away. In that moment the world flipped on its head. Ever since then, it has felt as if I were racing to put things right again, praying desperately that the world would make sense again. Looking back over the last year I think the world has finally righted itself again. But it is a different world then the one I remember and oddly I find myself all right with that.
This past year has taught me that life is all about changing and growing. It’s about learning when to hold on for dear life and when to let go. It’s about finding happiness in the stupid little things that come along. It’s about learning that things will happen in their time and that the universe can’t be rushed. And its about remembering that a single decision, going left instead of right, those tiny events lead us to where we are now.
A year after the world flipped on its head I can finally say that I understand how I found myself here and that I have no regrets. There have been tears and pain, no doubt. I would love a few more minutes with those who have passed on to other things. But for the first time in a long while I find myself beginning to grow comfortable with where I am and who I am becoming. And that is a gift.
Spring has finally arrived and the world is waking up. And it feels like I am waking up too, from a long hibernation. So allow me to shout out my welcome to this new world that I find before me. I look forward to getting to know it better and starting my next great adventure.
Welcome back spring, with all your possibilities. It’s good to see you again.
