I believe in signs and omens...I believe that you are not handed anything that you can't handle...I believe that you should trust the process...I believe that you should do what you love...I believe that I needed a good swift kick to remember all of these things. We all have moments when you feel a little bit lost...but the key is not to dwell there to long. You have to remember the things that matter. The things that matter to you...and then all else will work its way out. I know the things that matter to me...my family...love in my heart and soul...writing...music...soccer...beer...walking for miles...staring at trees and/or water...dates with Gym...and travel. These are the things I need to consume myself with...not my job. My job is the thing that allows me to enjoy all the things that matter. I had briefly forgotten.
I was watching my favorite local band (19th Street Band) talk about and then sing their song
"The Things That Matter" and it hit me...I'm not really doing all of the things that matter to me. It took some time to work it through...many scribbles in my journal...a few beers...some music...random epiphany inspiring conversations at my local watering hole...then a decision to put all fears aside...and just do all the things. So, I am. I'm going to make time for all the things...and in doing so...I'll have endless fodder for the one thing I love to do the most...write.
