So, last week I made a "life-plan", mostly because I was feeling out of sorts and out of control in my day to day life. You see, we are on the cusp of possible major life change (aka, adventure x100), but we aren't there yet…and may not move in that direction at all. BUT, I digress…I wanted a semblance of control, a wisp of an idea that I had my life together. So, I put pencil to paper and got to it.
It seemed like such.a.good.idea. But, when I got down to it, I realized that at this point in life…the only thing I can control is myself. My thoughts, my passions, my actions, the way I love, the way I live life. I can't control the external things that I found myself sooo desperate to put my thumb on. Have you ever felt this way? Don't we all feel this way at points (everyday? oh no? that's just me!)?
I think that it's the gentle reminder that I can't have it all together all the time, much to my dismay. But, it did give my spirit a little rest in the meantime, realizing that I'm already doing the things that are important to me. AND, the best news is…I can continue to do those things even in times of transition or unrest. I can love well, live well, pursue adventure, remain vibrant, grow, and welcome. Those are the things that are most important to me. Those are the things I plan to do, in all areas of my life. That is adventure. That is beauty.
ANNNND…on a couple unrelated notes…I loved meeting those of you I met at my dear friend the Nester's. Can't wait to seek out your blogs and say hi! Also, I got new super cute nail polish…Essie's Lapis of Luxury from their "Resort Collection". Ahhh, yes, the closest I come to a resort these days is my nail polish!
