Direction

How many of you find yourself wandering around through life, and realize that days, sometimes weeks, go by and you have no idea how that happened?

Sometimes you write down the date and think, how in the hell did another month pass me by?

The busier we are, the faster time flies, because we are just getting through it instead of living it. We're not paying attention to what is going on around us simply because we don't have time to. When we have a free moment, we're on Facebook, twitter, or Pinning what we want our lives to really be like.

Twenty-One days from today our first events will be starting for Mids.  I can't even wrap my brain around the amount of work I will put in getting ready for that week, and yet, I sit here right now and I'm calm.  I'm tired of living my life through events and waiting till the next one is over.  One thing I've learned over the past few years is that there will always be another event around the corner, so you might as well savor what you can when you can.

I know I say that now... you may have to remind me in a couple weeks :)

So, I started thinking that I'll need something to keep me sane... something to keep me on my path, so I don't fall into the black hole of work despair.  And I figured that the best way, my favorite way, is through gratitude.  The fact that it's almost November is just good timing divine intervention.

Day 1:  Today I am grateful that I have the day off, because I know that leading up to the event I won't.  Today, I can relax with a cup of coffee and write about things that make me happy.  I can fight with Goldie who will get the chair next to the fire (she's winning right now), and the only thing I really need to shower for is book club later today.  I can relax knowing that the past week was a complete success with the start of our biggest learn to skate session in years.  I can bake, and watch Y&R, and not worry about anything.  I can smile with the fact that when I asked for help this week, it was given to me.

Basically, this is as good as it gets right now...

I hope today finds you in a good place too!

Happy Wednesday.
