Phases of the Moon

Phases of a moon

In the last few months I have been slowly transitioning out of the only world I have known for the last two years.  Now school is over and I am officially a college graduate and a Registered Nurse!  And while this is an exciting moment in my life it is also the beginning and ending of a many different things.  The securities involved with being a student are now gone and uncertainty fills the void left behind. 

And while I could sit here in melancholic nostalgia of the great adventures I have had the pleasure to experience I would rather focus on the NOW and what I can do to propel myself into whatever successes are next.  

My past is not erased though.  Sometimes we learn what we are capable of when we are striving to meet another's expectation.  And while my achievements may have been a bit misguided the results still remain the same. My goal now is to Run, because it is fun and fill me with energy and clears my head of chaos.  Lift, because it makes me feel strong.  Help others, because it brings enormous peace.  Spend time raising my family, because their youthfulness fills me with youthfulness.  Loving my husband, because loving another more than yourself is the most rewarding and fulfilling gift. 

So like the Moon, I embark on this journey largely alone in some ways, but in many other ways surrounded by an infinite universe that coexists in creative energy or peace and love.
