Fall is Fun

I love October. I don't necessarily love Halloween, just all the fun activities, great weather, and of course the treats.

It's only half way through the month and we've already been to a pumpkin patch and to visit witches at Gardner Village.

The best part of fall thus far is seeing my sweet boy grow up.

Confirmation

It's amazing how every once in a while I find clarity in my life.

All too often I get so bogged down and am in the "thick of thin things."

I let life get away from me. I neglect. Myself. My hubby. My kids. My house. The list goes on.

I detach. I've been detached for a while now. Detachment is so much easier then facing life head on, or at least that is my coping mechanism of choice.

But then, as always, there is light...light and TRUTH. Truth about why I am here on this earth in the first place. Truth about where I am going.

Lately I have had confirmation of the truths that I have come to know. It's been coming in waves. Right now I'm a bit overwhelmed at the power of that wave. I wasn't looking for it but now it's pushing me a long. Carrying me into a different atmosphere.

Confirmation of truth brings CLARITY. I am lifted up, above the fog of the mundane and am seeing more clearly.

And I think I'm ready. Ready to move forward. To follow the light, the truth.

Ready to be a better person. Mom. Wife. Daughter. Sister. Friend.

Ready to think beyond myself. My pity party has lasted way too long! I can not stay in this holding pattern any longer. Where I live should have no baring on who I am and what I do.

It's time. I can't waste one more day. I've been given the opportunity to come to this earth to experience life. To serve. To learn. To GROW.

I have a little picture in my room with the saying "Sweet Assurance. The certainty that comes when you know lifes truths."

Sweet Assurance. That is what I'm feeling. I've been so scared, uncertain, apprehensive, but it was because I wasn't trusting myself and I had forgotten. Forgotten about those truths.

I've been reminded. Through a series of small events. Whisperings to my soul. I've been reminded and I remember now. Life does have a purpose. I have a purpose. It's confirmation of that knowledge that I will cling to as I start to live better. Be better.

I know what I need to do. That is half the battle right. Now I just have to get to doing.

Wowza. I felt so strongly that I had to put that out there. O.K. universe, there you go. Message received and passed on. Thank you for tapping on my shoulder! Thank you for not giving up on me.

With that said....I'm going to get to doing now...well not right now. Right now I'm going to bed.

Does sweet assurance translate into sweet dreams?
