Life is often like juggling, isn’t it? As soon as one thing seems balanced, well managed, and under control, another ball is thrown your way. There’s distraction and noise everywhere, and somehow you are standing in the middle of the circus act. Last weekend was one of juggling and this week proves to be no different. I’m learning that often times getting started on Mondays means taking a deep breath and diving in headfirst.
Once I make the dive, things typically fall into place and I settle back into routine quite easily. This Monday for me is a different one. Life is full of transition, questions, and the searching of things out. I’m reminded that this journey of a thousand miles begins with, yet, a single, small step.
This morning I raise my coffee mug to adventures that are yet had, the joy of fresh mornings, and the thrill of cold water surging against my face as I dive headfirst again. Whatever journey you are on, whether of motherhood and changing dirty diapers, working in a cube and stacks of paperwork, or finding yourself in class preparing for an unknown future, may you have the courage to embrace the nuances and details, the beauty in the destination. Most importantly the bravery to dive in, headfirst and wholehearted again.
Happy Monday everyone!
