Friday and I'm not sure what's going on...

While today isn’t necessarily a “bad” day (at least not like yesterday, not now, hopefully not at all today); I seem to have a sense that something not too good may be coming for me today.  You know that feeling right?  The one that blankets you with an almost fear like quality even though nothing frightening is going on?  Or maybe it’s the sense of something speeding at you with no power to stop it?  I really truly desperately hope I’m wrong.  For now though all I can do is sit tight and wait.  So unfortunately too, do you…  

Since I am waiting for either this feeling to pass, or the event I speak of to happen I will simply offer this as a daily light (it struck me yesterday as I read it, and I thought you’d all enjoy it)

Lastly before I sign off for now; thank you to those people who went out of their way to make me feel better yesterday.  Including the blogging friends I have, the real life ones, the online ones, I really felt much better by the end of the day.  It truly makes a difference even if it’s just a post, or a shared sentiment.  Many thanks to you all.  

I’ll keep you posted as to events if and when they may unfold for me today.

Permission To Simply Be
Working Through Transitions
The elation we feel when we have learned an important lesson, achieved a goal, or had a big breakthrough can sometimes be met with a period of downtime afterward. During this period of transition, we may feel unsure and not know where to turn next. Many people, during the pause between achievements, begin to wonder what their life is about. These feelings are common and strike everyone from time to time. Human beings are active creatures-we feel best when we are working on a project or vigorously pursuing a goal. But there is nothing inherently wrong with spending a day, a week, or even a month simply existing and not having a plan. Just be. It won't be long before you embark upon your next voyage of growth and discovery.

The quiet lull into we which we fall between ideas, projects, and goals can make life seem empty. After accomplishing one objective, you may want to move immediately on to the next. However, when your next step is unclear, you may feel frustrated, disconnected, or even a mild depression. You may even perceive your lack of forward momentum as an indicator of imminent stagnation. To calm these distressing thoughts, try to accept that if your intent is personal growth, you will continue to grow as an individual whether striving for a specific objective or not. Spending time immersed in life's rigors and pleasures can be a cathartic experience that gives you the time you need to think about what you have recently gone through and leisurely contemplate what you wish to do next. You may also find that in simply being and going through the motions of everyday life, you reconnect with your priorities in a very organic, unforced way.

The mindful transitional pause can take many forms. For some, it can be a period of reflection that helps them understand how their life has unfolded. For others, it can be a period of adjustment, where new values based on recent changes are integrated into daily life. Just because you're not headed swiftly to a final destination doesn't mean you should assume that you have lost your drive. The stage between journeys can become a wonderful period of relaxation that prepares you for the path that will soon be revealed to you.
