Hello world! Putting myself on a newly instated blogging schedule so I hope that you will be hearing from me more often these days :) I wanted to share a little experience that I had this morning that really helped me get the kick in the pants that I needed to move on with my day. Sometimes it is so easy for use to completely zone in and focus on the 1, 2, or 256 things we want that we lose sight of where these things that we truly want will ultimately take us in the end. Especially when we feel as though someone is threatening to take this oh so precious thing we want so badly from us- we want to hold it even tighter and never let go in hopes that this will actually help us to secure it. What I am talking about here is not a new pair of Prada shoes (though these days with life on the West Coast, I'd be more apt to hold on tight to my surfboard)- but rather experiences, big life changes, moves, etc. When we take a moment to look up and realize the minute influence that 1 small thing we so hoped for might have on the grand scheme of things (or even just the next 3 years down the road), we are truly able to grasp the concept of its influence. And in the grand scheme of things...that influence of the little things is next to nothing. After getting some good news that my baby brother will remained stationed in our new home here on the best coast, I came to the realization that holy crap- it worked out. I didn't mule over it, freak out about, or try to control the situation. Luck and grace? Yes I am most likely certain that these 2 contenders had something to do with it. But really taking a step back and thinking about the small minute details that can happen each day within those next 3 years that my brother will be here (and completely unrelated to him) make all of the little details in life seem well, that much more insignificant. In due time I truly believe that all things that are meant to be can and will happen :)
GOSH it feels OH SO good to be back :) I hope you all have a wonderful day!
xoxo AA
