This blog is new to me so I am not in the habit of writing everyday, but that is my goal. To put something out there, into the world that hopefully someone connects with. I want to show myself that I have something creative and relevant to share, even if I am just sharing with myself. But while this is still new to me I need to remember to be flexible, I may not find a consistent rhythm right away...and I may never be able to spell rhythm without spellcheck:) but I am going to commit to not being hard on myself for my inconsistency. Flexibility is something that I value. Growing up I had to learn to be flexible...I did not have a stable home. We moved often and sometimes without much notice at all, to a different province even, on two occasions. I went to 11 schools from K-12, with my grade 5 year being a patchwork of curricula from three different cities. Learning to be flexible suited me well making new friends, learning new spaces. Sometimes the things we want the most are the things we don't mind losing out on in the end. And sometimes changing our plans or adjusting our expectations turns out to be a gift. Funny the way life works. Tonight has me thinking about all those moments that I have wanted something so badly only to be so grateful down the road that it didn't work out the way I envisioned. This year for me is all about being flexible...expanding the idea of what I want for myself, adjusting to fit more me time into my life, thinking about what I want long term. I have gotten away from myself and what makes me feel whole.
