Today when I asked someone how they have been they said "Its been a long couple years" this gave me pause because those six words spoke volumes. It made my heart ache because it was as if she didn't know were to start or to even bother trying and I wasn't sure I wanted to hear it all. It became a beautiful chat between her and I.
But it got me thinking of my last couple of years.......And what I think is how wonderful its been....work, struggle and accomplishment in these years I wouldn't be laying in bed writing a new blog, experiencing a new city and on a new career path.
Do we every take time as individuals to look back at the past couple of years and look at how far we have come or not come for that matter? Do we take time to analyze our accomplishments and failures...I think if we did this more we could grow as individuals without asking others if we are going about something right or asking "is this what we should be doing"?. Maybe we could stop looking outside ourselves for answers and embrace what we know to be out truth from the inside if we took a moment to really look at ourselves.
I have had so much time these past few months living alone to take a look at myself, to analyze my strengths my weaknesses and to look over the past couple years of my life. And I know now that its only long if, it feels hard and its only hard when I made it hard. Like all things its perspective and my defiantly is changing each and every year.
