The Other Side

Have you ever seen a photo you had taken and it stirs up something in you that you hadn’t felt before? This photo is from the deck of my apartment when I lived in Dillon Colorado. It was a good size deck and I always enjoyed sitting out there in the early mornings or evenings when the sun was going down. I really miss being surrounded by the views of the mountains because it was like I was waking up in a postcard every day no matter where I was in the County.

I came upon this photo today in my memories and for whatever reason it prompted me to reflect and brought about a pensive mood. Certain situations seem to be unfolding quicker than I can process which can be both good and bad. I do not have time to analyze or attempt to make sense of it. The only thought that comes to my mind is sink or swim. I do not know how to swim but I am not planning on sinking. There is too much at stake and people who depend on me so it is not an option. In the meantime, I continue to pray and ask for wisdom on how to proceed because I feel as though I am being led to follow the path that is before me professionally. Too many times I think of the “what if” and that will stop me from moving forward. Then another part of me says to step out and things will fall into place as they are meant to.

I have always said if you do not try, then you will never know and you will continue to live wondering what could have been. I choose to not live in fear and face what comes head-on because I will never know what I am made of unless I push myself to the other side.
