-Hello there, whoever you may be! Thank you for joining me.-
When I decided to write a blog entry tonight I asked myself what a good topic would be considering the things that have been going on with me lately, then I thought "Duh." It was immediately obvious to me. My topic had arrived.
Today was my first day of work at my new job in Washington. Even typing this now is so crazy to me! I got a job in Washington. I pictured moving to a new state and frantically looking for work. The thought of not having a job almost scared me into staying where I was because I knew I was safe there. I had a job and a schedule and I knew what to expect during my days. When I finally decided to take the plunge and move, I was very nervous about my work situation. I thought and thought about finding work and finding it quick, but doubted the process with a worried heart. The universe has proven to me once again that my mom is right when she tells me to take a chill pill and that things always work out. Thanks mom, I love you.
Have you ever hoped and hoped and hoped for something to happen and then.....it did? I guarantee you that this has happened for you multiple times and will happen many more times. I frequently have something that I wish for so badly and it can either be something that takes time to accomplish or something simple that can be met within minutes of my hoping for it. When these things finally happen, it's like I forget all about how much I yearned for it. The time in between wishing for something and having that wish come true often transitions you to comfortably having what you had been wishing for. It's like you forget exactly how much you wanted it in the beginning. Whatever it is feels like a natural part of your life now because it was eased into your atmosphere. It becomes the norm and no longer shines as bright as it did before it was truly yours.
Life tends to move fast and new experiences and elements are always coming in and out of your life. Some things happen and leave a permanent mark on your existence and some things only impact you momentarily. I want to notice the things I have. I want to really see the things I once had only hoped would be true. I want to recognize what is so tangible to me today in comparison to the mere idea it was to me yesterday. It is so powerful to be able to look back and see what you have accomplished and being able to recognize the things that have been handed to you by fate and by the hands of others is equally as beautiful.
This is my wish for not only myself, but for the person reading this; take the time to remember the things we ached for so badly. The things we dared to want and hope for. I know I am surprised at the amount of things I have experienced that I once thought I would never be able to say I have done. We need to look at the life we have today and congratulate ourselves in working toward the things we wished for ourselves. You did it. You put the idea out into the world and you made it yours. If there are things you are still hankering for, don't ever give up. Take note of the things that have already been accomplished and know that your current hopes and aspirations can be met just as your previous ones have. Don't forget the work you put into making things happen and enjoy the journey to that place. Most importantly, always take the time to notice. Notice all of your current truths that were once your aching dreams.
