Make a sharp left turn - I am heading that-a-way!

So, I took another leap of faith and left my job after 18 years.  Who could have predicted such monumental changes in my life in these past 3 years??  

There is definitely an "outside force" leading me down new paths.  In these past years, there have been so many signs along the way, gently guiding me to make huge, life-changing decisions.  Whenever there was a little doubt, there would be another sign assuring me to keep going.

I always told my kids that you can not live your life while you are looking backwards.  It is hard for me to NOT look over my shoulder to see where I have been.  But, I always promise myself to 'just take a glimpse' and then focus my eyes on the road ahead.

As with all my decisions these past few years, I am excited about what the future holds for me as I walk this new, challenging path.  

My life has had many ups and downs, twists and turns.  I have learned how important it is to 'stay present in the moment'.  A task I am still trying to perfect.  I seem to have it under control during the day..... it is the middle of the night that is giving me trouble.  Hey, I'm a work in progress!

I am proud to say that I have one ritual that will never wane.  As each day unfolds, the first order of business is always to be thankful for all my blessings.  Afterall, gratitude is the key that unlocks the door to happiness.
