Been pondering life a LOT lately. More than usual.
I have always kept a journal. Wrote in it(them- one journal became stacks) every day. For years. What a great release. Sometimes I stumble across the box I keep them in. It's impossible to not reach in and pull one out. When I look back into my life sometimes I smile, sometimes I feel sad from the memory, sometimes I can even feel myself blush. LOL I blush because I can not believe how stupid some of my entries are. Regardless of the emotion they bring forward in me, I still cherish the memories.
Blogging helped me do the same thing my journals do. Release whats pent up in my head. Good or bad. I started this as a way to keep everyone up on Marc's triathlons. It became something more than that. So much more. I have met incredible people through this blog. I'm so grateful for this place I come to. I have stayed away for too long again. It's time for me to return. It's time for me to create again.
Shaw wrote - "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." What do you do if you liked who you were and don't recognise who you have become? Do you recreate yourself again or do you try to find your way back to who you were? Can you ever find your way back to who you used to be? Maybe you can create a newer version but I don't think you can ever be who you were- ever again. Changes create shifts in everything. Your way of thinking, your way of observing, how you interact with others, it changes your perspective. Shaw was right, you will never find yourself, you are faced with staying the same or creating a new, better, more improved you. You have to, or you'll never know how to be happy. At least that is my perspective on the subject.

Do you like the new skin or is it too 'dark' both metaphorically and in actuality?
Welcome back, Di!!!
LOVE the new look!!!
I think we can create and recreate all we want! Like the famous Doctor once said, "you have brains in your head, and feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose."
(Dr. Seuss)
I miss you!!!
I believe we are who we are at birth, we just go through stages. Some of them are tests and some of them are experiments and some of them are reactions to circumstance and some of them represent survival but the really great thing about maturity is that at some point we wake up and say 'this is who I am and I will now and forever surround myself with people who support me as I am, not as they want me to be' and it's very liberating even if it involves letting some people go because what it means is we get to embrace our very own self and that's the best hug of all.
