Something's Changing...

Today something happened. I'm not sure what it was and I'm not sure what it means but, I could tell something just switched inside of me. It just clicked. And now it's different.

The "it" I'm referring to is my life, I think. Or my feelings about my life and what I'm supposed to be doing. All the questions that plague me on a day to day basis...well, I think they just got simpler or something.

It felt kind of like a door was just closed but at the same time it kind of felt like I was released.

I don't want to go into too many details now, but I felt like I should at least acknowledge that today I felt something I have never felt before. I'm hoping and praying it will bring clarity and guidance.

rach, that's great!
i'm so glad you're feeling like there's a breakthrough of some kind. it's the kind of thing you can't plan but feel so thankful for when it happens.
i hope it's the beginning of many more good things for you.

Rach, screw it! What fantastic advise I give! I think I should be a therapist. For real...trust your heart...you have a good one, and you won't go wrong.

I found this and thought of you as it applies to this post and what you may be going through...I hope you like it.....

Live. And Live Well.
BREATHE. Breathe in and Breathe deeply. Be PRESENT. Do not be past. Do not be future. Be now.
On a crystal clear, breezy 70 degree day, roll down the windows and FEEL the wind against your skin. Feel the warmth of the sun.
If you run, then allow those first few breaths on a cool Autumn day to FREEZE your lungs and do not just be alarmed, be ALIVE.
Get knee-deep in a novel and LOSE track of time.
If you bike, pedal HARD… and if you crash then crash well.
Feel the SATISFACTION of a job well done—a paper well-written, a project thoroughly completed, a play well-performed.
If you must wipe the snot from your 3-year old’s nose, don’t be disgusted if the Kleenex didn’t catch it all… because soon he’ll be wiping his own.
If you’ve recently experienced loss, then GRIEVE. And Grieve well.
At the table with friends and family, LAUGH. If you’re eating and laughing at the same time, then might as well laugh until you puke. And if you eat, then SMELL. The aromas are not impediments to your day. Steak on the grill, coffee beans freshly ground, cookies in the oven. And TASTE. Taste every ounce of flavor. Taste every ounce of friendship. Taste every ounce of Life. Because-it-is-most-definitely-a-Gift.
