I am not very sleepy... in part due to my nap this afternoon (:::sigh::: I should have known better).
I am thinking a lot about my last few days. Meeting new people and being social. Renewed hope in an important part of my life. The making of space for my "me time" passion.
I have a blog in process about change - along with a couple of others of various topics. I am realizing that without change life wouldn't continue forward... it would stay stuck and stagnant. Things are constantly in a state of change, but it is more when it gets uncomfortable that it becomes difficult to accept (at least for me). Everything that happens - happens for a reason. Sometimes we need to release what isn't working and recognize that change is needed to find what we are really looking for. This can apply to my experiences the last few days. It is interesting that these last three days... have three distinct themes of change.
There has been a recent reduction in staff in my friend category. The ONLY way this will change is if I want to change it and am willing to put myself out there. I needed to let go and take a chance Friday night. Chatty and smiley would be my self description (after about 15 min of being introverted and quiet I decided that it wasn't going to deliver the results I was looking for). In the end... I wound up having a excellent time and met some new people! :o)
Saturday... well... it was Saturday. :o) Truth was spoken and openness was present... in the downs and ups something clicked... it has been tagged "a revelation". I am hopeful. Life doesn't promise anything... it doesn't promise what tomorrow will hold or if there will even be a tomorrow. What I do know is that I hold "Saturday" and the important things about it very close... I am grateful for the answer the universe has delivered... at least for now. :o)
Tonight I decided that there was something lacking in my life that I could easily (well... somewhat easily) change. One of my passions and how I like to spend some "me time" is scrapbooking. My stuff has been in boxes and untouched for months. My weeks are changing somewhat and some alone time for me is being re-established... which really is a good thing for multiple reasons. Something clicked for me and I decided that I was going to find a way to make space in here... so I could bring my stuff out and get lost in something that makes me happy if I felt the urge to do so. I'm excited that the process is underway.... :o)
Maybe tomorrow I will have a "Day 4" to add to this list... :o)
