“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start,
anyone can start from now
and make a brand new ending.”
– Carl Bard
One thing that the crazy month of June gave me was the opportunity to really step back and decide what was most important in my life. While I was away on my business trips I had quite a bit of downtime. Meetings were only scheduled during the day to coincide with our normal working hours so it left me with most of my nights free. Being away from home meant that my normal routine was turned all upside-down, impacting so many things!
I had been kind of circling a little bit these last few months, stuck in a rut with very little motivation, really just going through the motions. It took me a great deal of time and hard work to be where I am today and I know I don’t ever want to go back to where I started but now that I am here what now? That’s what I kept asking myself, what now? What’s next?
What’s next for me is my brand new ending…or at least the start of the journey to that ending because who knows, I might need to do this all over again in 6 months! Someday my brand new ending may change; I guess it all depends on which branch of the path I decide to take. For now I think I will focus more on me, less on all of the commotion around me that I can’t control. I have enrolled in a few online art/craft classes, changed up my training schedule to focus more on strength, I joined my local farmstand’s CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program to get some fresh new produce delivered weekly and I have planned a few weekend and day trips just for me. I spend so much of my life making lists or being given lists. I think its time to start checking things off.
Thanks for stopping by!
