First you take a break, then you saddle up again and keep on going...

Is there anything more frustrating then thinking you're on top of the world then getting knocked back a few ;). It happens... good news, turning it around is as easy as changing your perspective. I know... easier said then done... I'm a living example. 

Life for me has been a journey filled with ups and downs these past 2 years. Times of insatiable happiness, and times where I've felt ready to give up. But I've learned those times pass, and time passes too quickly, I'm tired of wasting away moments in that sad spot...

I've been on hiatus from blogging. Needed to regroup, readjust my focus. Oddly, I think as up and down as the past few weeks have been, they've really taught me some good lessons. Firstly, I have amazing instincts... I just needed to trust them. Yup, turns out I was right about Chris. I caution when someone is trying to convince you that you are doing wrong, thinking wrong, acting wrong, step back and take a good look at the situation. There is a very big chance they are projecting their own issues on you. Guilty, I believed it for so long, until I caught him in one last lie, and suddenly my own self-worth and assurance in the situation grew. This time I have walked away, and I'm looking up.

I've spent the last few weeks focusing on me. Lots of Yoga, discussions around work and life and opportunities, time with friends, back in the saddle and out training on my road bicycle. Life is good. And through discussions with friends, I'm learning to really once again appreciate the good moments. You never know when life is going to take a turn or throw you a curve ball. It is too easy to let the good moments slip by... so I urge you. Step back... breath it in, soak it up, and truly be in it. Enjoy the moments that feel good. Bring your mind to that moment. Smell the breeze, hear the sounds of nature, be with the people who are in your presence. Forget the things that are not here, not now, and not the truth in this moment :).

Be happy...good things await you!
