Moving On

SUCCESS::

Today I accomplished two very vital things in my preparation toward OKC

1. I sent in my FAFSA
2. I got blood drawn [for the immunization records - required for health care workers] without getting light headed.

Yeah, I guess that's how it has been since I graduated, little things become big accomplishments. I've gotten myself very accustomed to just being me. In fact, I have perfected the art of simply being and basking in all of God's glory. One day during the summer I stared up at a tree for an hour. I had no wild thoughts racing through my head, no tasks that I had to rush to complete. I think people get so caught up in what has to get done that we fail to notice all the precious time we waste by being numb to the qualities of simply living, simply being.

Of course, my time of relaxation and savoring will be coming to a close after the Christmas holiday has ended. The New Year will be here and this time, as opposed to most other times, I will welcome it with open arms because I know that 2010 will be a year of new adventures and fresh starts, no matter how scary and life altering.

I'm moving on, I'm packing up my things once again and driving somewhere I've never been. I'm starting fresh, meeting new people, learning new things. My time [for now at least] to be here at home with my beloved family is coming to a close. This adventure is going to be all mine, an adventure of more growth. While I do not always welcome change because I savor present things and grow comfortable in the world I surround myself with I know remaining here longer is not serving the greater plan that awaits me. To be stagnant is never an option, we must always learn and grow and change. I'm pretty sure I should say that to myself in the mirror more often than I think it.

So I guess it is time to put on a brave face and be a big girl...or fake it 'til I make it. What am I kidding, I'll never grow up, I'll just age.
