Then to Now: PN23

Well, it has been a bit. Again. And, again, it is a result of being spread too thin whilst also battling my brain.

I have completed one of my courses, and while I had expected its completion to open up the time slot for this project, it has instead allowed me more time for life contemplation and the processing of next steps. Truth be told I am only posting today because it works for an assignment in another of my courses. But, really, it’s time to return to this project. I need it more than I realize.

When I post on this specific blog, I force myself to recall where I said NO to others so I could say YES to myself. I have again discovered that there is a direct correlation to my feeling confident and focused and this blog. Maybe that’s what these past however-many days needed to teach me. Maybe the proverbial wisdom “you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone” can apply to this, too.

In any event, I am being forced out of the nest because this website is going live within a few hours. But really, all signs are pointing in the direction of my shifting gears yet again. It’s as if I’m being asked to say NO to what is comfortable and known very well so that I can say YES to what is better for me. My next post will explain this more fully.

I just realize something about a blog: it is in real-time AND in the past BOTH. I write in present tense, what is happening right now, but tomorrow it will become in the past that reads like the present. A little heady, I know, but this is important to me to note. A blog isn’t a novel that has been crafted over time; it’s a journal that is crafted in a moment. Fascinating. I suppose the assignment is doing its job. Cool.

Until next time…
