I don’t know if this will be my greatest adventure but I know that I am already learning a ton. There is a certain freedom that comes with not being tied down and with that freedom comes a great deal of responsibility! I have to make goals and then achieve them. I cannot let my life settle because afterall… this is just one of the many adventures that I will experiance in my life.

Today I learned to let go of what has happened.
Today I learned that there will be no other day like this one.
Today I learned that nothing is permanant.
Today I learned that God is always there.
Today I learned that my perspective on important matters has changed drastically over the past five years.
Today I learned patience.
Today I learned wisdom.
Today I learned self-control.
Today I learned…
I am one of those freaks in our society who loves to learn new things… sometimes it’s rough and sometimes it’s simple. I tend to take the jagged road many times and create lesson plans learned the hard way. But I’ve learned. However, because I have learned so many things the hard way (experianced them first hand) I have gained appreciation for the smallest of things and grown attached to the beauty of life. Last night as my insomnia kept me awake for the tenth day in a row, I placed my hand over my chest and listened to my heart… each unique little beat telling me that my life wasn’t over… each unique little beat working and working and working to let me know that there is still so much for me to experiance. Then I placed my hand over my lungs and felt my chest rise and fall. The bigger the rise… the lower the fall (fancy that 🙂 ). And for an hour I just listened… to the beating of my heart and the rising of my lungs. And like magic my mind began to come up with trillians of metaphores about life and death and purpose and everything one could think of in that small amount of time.
The rest of the night I tossed and turned as my mind worked busily showing me my most inner thoughts and preventing my eyes to be covered by their lids and let me drift off into dream land. Tick Tock Tick Tock… the hours felt like minutes until at one point and hours after I had crawled into my comfy little covers I finally caught a glimps of dream land… and then my alarm clock went off.
I jumped out of bed, grabbed some coffee (which I don’t usually drink), showered and started the first day of my next adventure…
