Making moves
And just like that a quarter of the year is gone. Poof! Who knew? I didn’t until I had to write the date on something. It made me think about the things I wanted to do with myself in order to really upgrade my human being status. Yes, we all want to be better people, be a better person, but how does one exactly do that? How does it all manifest? And frankly, I’ve been making moves. I’ve been hustling like whoa. But if you want an omelet, you need to break some eggs, so get another dozen of those free range organic dealies and get cracking, cause yours truly is fresh out.
So, you know about the school thing (and I’m still waiting to hear, in case you’re wondering. And if I get accepted or not, I still look towards making that happen). The more I think about libraries, the more I know this was the right decision for me. There’s just something about these places and them being a center from which so much possibility lies. To be one of these people who helps folks get and find what they need is just perfect for me. I never saw it coming, but there it is, so I’m running with it.
I vouched to travel more this year, and I have. In the last four months, I’ve been to Las Vegas, Portland, and Minneapolis. I have Austin and New Orleans on my plate and would really love to get to Seattle, Chicago, and Atlanta before the end of the year. Whether or not my bank account will cosign on to that is yet to be seen, but if I can make it happen, you’ll be the first to know.
I think what’s different for me so far this year is that my focus is different. It’s really easy to complain and point the finger and eyeroll at what’s not fair, what others are doing, and how you’re being affected by it. I made an honest effort to not just want to change things about myself, but be an active and willing participant in making that change happen. Try it, you just might surprise yourself.
So, that’s me in a nutshell. What have you done with yourself so far in 2010? And it’s only April, so it’s not too late. All the best, my friends.
