Connections Realized

We roam. 

We wander. 

We meander. 

Bumping into walls as we go. 

Aimlessly. 

Until...connections realized. 

Doesn't matter what your Myers-Briggs test says about you. Doesn't matter if you classify yourself as a loner. We all feel the need to connect. The connection touch point may seem inconsequential to some. It may seem insignificant to others. But to you, it as electric as a live wire. The actual connection may not last a long time but the affect can linger. 

Here's the thing...

You may not even realize it was a real connection until long after the fact but when you look in the rear view mirror...you see it for what it truly was. 20/20 baby. 20/20. 

Don't ever stop looking for them. Don't take them for granted. They are the lifeblood of who we are. 

It's the human version of connect the dots...with one exception; the picture is never complete. 

Take Two...

5/21/10 

That's the date of my first published blog post. It was titled "Fork in the road decisions."  It seems like I wrote that a lifetime ago.  So much has changed since.  Some things clearer. Some things murkier. 

A lot makes sense. A lot doesn't. 

It seems life does come full circle and tends to repeat itself. 

As a matter of fact...anything that you put out in the atmosphere today...probably was there via you or your circles of influence yesterday. 

You see your life in others and other times. 

Been there done that...right? 

Not exactly. 

Things do come full circle and you see things today that you saw before but...

Your vantage point is different. 

Your skyline changes. 

Your blind spot changes. 

Your camera lens changes. 

You see if from another angle. 

You understand. You misinterpret. 

But...no matter what...

You keep moving forward. 

Say cheese! 

Back In The Saddle

January? 

That's over 10 months ago. Really??

That's the last time I sharpened the pencil (figuratively of course) and put my thoughts on virtual paper. 

That's way too long. 

Time to get back in the saddle again.

Some history...

I started my blog back in 2010 for personal reasons. There are two main "distractions" in my life that keep me centered. Working out and writing. I have kept up with the workouts (for the most part) but the writing has taken a back seat to other things (some good/some not).  It happens.  I could list the litany of excuses but that's all they are...excuses. 

It's ironic because my last post was about New Year's resolutions. I talked about setting goals for yourself, etc.  Practice what I preach much?  Apparently not.  

So even though this isn't a deep dive into my heart, mind and soul...it's a start. The first step is always the hardest.  

I will leave you (for now) with a thought...

In life, there are X amount of things that make us happy and X amount of things that don't. I would strongly suggest you don't let the former go because if you do for too long...you will be a shadow of your former self. True story. 

Ah....nothing like a little writer's cramp to get the kinks out!
