Im sitting here in my new space thinking old thoughts. Well not really old thoughts, but more so thoughts of old. I look back and wonder how I got over!!! I was reading my earlier blogs and I really cant understand how I moved so far from sanity. Its a constant work in progress, but I understand that so its not stressful. I think life is a wonderful series of interlinking circles. I had a tendency to stay on my circle and ignore the many chances to change direction. It was easier to maintain my comfort with the rhythmic swirl and gentle ebbs and tides. However Im glad I made the mistake of stepping out and trying something new.

Now that my steps arent ordered, I can roam freely though a world that has always been available to me. Comfort is a two sided sword, on one side it makes life much more bearable if you can predict or anticipate whats next. All the while, the other side is silently slicing away opportunities and experiences that can very much enrich your life. Relationships, careers and personal growth all suffer a slow death if you refuse to change.

I encourage you to step out and see whats outside your circle. I was worried about the friends I had lost, but soon understood that I could not let their decision to be comfortable on their circle be a stumbling block to my next move. This has been an amazing time since I started dealing with myself on honest terms. Now that Im holding the sword, I am swinging it with surgical precision in my life. I have found and lost what I thought was love. The name I dare not speak is a fond memory. But he is just that a memory. Ive made some hard choices and refuse to have regrets.

As my dance through the next 100 years begins, I swirl and dip with delight over whats coming next.
