I've had a few things on my mind as of late - stressors that have caused a fair amount of consternation. I'm SO ready to be done with those things. It's time to formulate a "plan" for getting where I want to be. 'Course, the first thing to do would be to actually know what it is that I really WANT!
I have a very dear friend who has also recently been going through a lot of life changes lately - a divorce, moving back in with her parents, beginning a new relationship, a new job, now moving into her own place, etc. But from the start, she's had one major goal - to move to Hawaii. She just didn't know how to make that happen. A few days ago (literally, less than a week ago), it all seemed to fall into place. She has a plan, and even a backup plan, that gets her where she wants to be in 3 months! But this didn't happen by just saying to herself "self, I need a plan". No, it happened in bits and pieces for awhile, until one day - BLAMMO! It all became crystal clear and fell into place!
I need my "BLAMMO" moment! My friend has suggested that finding my "quiet place" might be a good way to get myself to that moment of clarity that I need - she kinda has a point. It's hard to find real moments of quiet with 2 elementary-school-aged kids, an ass of an ex-husband, and all the other normal "noise" of life.
This coming week I will be kid-free for the first time in quite awhile. And by "kid-free", I don't mean just a couple of days or a few hours without my kids around. I mean, for the first time in 7 months, I will have almost an entire week off from them. While there's lots of regular life stuff to still deal with during these days, I think I'm going to take some time to try and find that quiet place.
Happy New Year, y'all!
