People keep telling me to live it up, enjoy my time while it belongs exclusively to me... at first it didn't quite make sense. I was convinced my life was better shared. Then again... I had a trip scheduled out West on business. My brother happens to live in the same city, so as usual I extended my trip to spend 9 days out West (including 3 days of business).
This trip was different. I have always found my way West when I've needed the chance to recenter myself... find balance in the craziness of life. This trip I truly found that balance, I truly lived. The West Coast for me is like home... and this trip was all about me! And why not?!?!? I have no one in my life to worry about for the first time ever, and I'm totally happy about it. I've never found more happiness with myself, not depending on someone, not needing permission from someone. Going where I want, doing what I want, getting to know me :). I did that this trip. 3 days of Alpine Skiing with some of British Columbia's finest ski conditions, a few days to hang out with family and friends. I have returned refreshed, motivated, inspired, ready... and for once, with a little patience and confidence that I can sit back and enjoy whatever surprises life will throw at me in time. And in the meantime, I can put the focus on making myself happy.
Funny how you attract what you are... you probably read that time and time again, I know I have. I can't say I've attracted that special someone yet, but I can tell you people have continued to come into my life, and friends from the past have resurfaced, and our discussions have proven we are coming together in a similar place. Amazing... only a matter of time... but first, I want to be wholly and completely me! Until then, I'm happy just becoming more and more me!
...and, in the meantime, I'm going to live it up! I hope you're doing the same. You never know what tomorrow holds, so keep your focus on making the most of today!
