The day started off just like every other day. I wake up and make my daughters lunch, brew my coffee and make her breakfast. As I am drinking my coffee, she comes down to eat. We have our usual chat, how did you sleep, what do you have to do at school, and then she wanted to tell me something? The first thing through my head was great she wants to talk about boys. It was not that at all. She said, "Dad, I am proud of you for losing the weight." I was taken back. I said, " Thanks. How could you tell I lost weight?" She replies with cream cheese on her nose "Because when you lean forward your stomach does not stick out so much." From the mouth of babes, the truth will be reviled.
The rest of my day I had some work to catch up on and was off. I had a hard time focusing. I could not figure out what it was. So I went for a walk to clear my mind. I start realizing that I have been doing a lot of changes in my life, and I had a strange feeling like I should be missing my old life. Why? I was happy with whom I am becoming. I was miserable in my old life. I am more confident now and in the past, I was very unsure. I guess because I am going to a new chapter in my life, I was looking for something comfortable. Once I realized that it was silly I continued to have a great day. Amazingly enough I got more work done.
Becoming more reflective I am noticing all the little trip ups that I would stumble over before. I would let them consume me. Now I have become more aware of what is around me and that there are other options for me to take. Stop dwelling on the past and look forward to that future.
Ramble On!!!
