I'm not sure exactly what I hope to achieve in the next six months, but I know it will be all of my own making. Which feels pretty damned good already. Those who know me well know what a big step this is. What you may not know is that this time has been a lifetime in the making.
I've never known much more than the next day, much less the next week, month or year. But you could say I had an epiphany of sorts. I need to take time, real time - without distractions, and invest in figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life.
Part of my search is driven by a newfound lack of constraints. By constraints I mean those of parenting, work and my own self-image as a provider of material things for others. I think my life should be more than the sum of my outputs or accomplishments. Rather it should be one I guide, instead of merely being swept along by the currents of providence.
Which is all to say that I will be different in six months. I'm not sure in what ways, but I relish the journey of discovery. You are welcome to share it with me, here in these digital pages. Feel free to leave a comment or a note of support, as I truly value the wisdom of others. And if in some small way I'm able to inspire you, or at least make you stop and think of your own journey, so much the better.
In all things, peace and joy.
