I am unsure how it is more than half way through the calendar year...where is my reflection? I had a strict writing schedule when I first started this endeavor of writing and blogging the events of my life and more importantly the reflection of events in my life as they were happening. I was writing an entry once a week, reflecting on the huge changes in my life and lifestyle and was highly cognizant of these changes as they were occurring.And then something changed, something happened along the way...I became a player in my own life and I started living in it...it became more interesting to simply live and be alive than to reflect on the changes and observations that were to be made. Sometimes living is just funner.
But it is my nature to reflect, and as I look to this blog, I think to myself, isn't this what #yolo is all about? Living in the moment, being caught up in the everyday and taking it all in? The emotions are real...the happiness, the sadness, the successes, the challenges...life is happy sometimes, sad sometimes, challenging, frustrating and fulfilling. My daughter graduated from college this year, my son is having his own successes in his young career...and I am here on my island, living a life I created for myself, a life that I have carved out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
It is a different life than I have had in the past, but it is my life...I created the fork in my own road, and I am happily on a different path now. I am living, I am trying to not take my moments for granted, I am trying to not fall into a pattern of complacency that so easily can overcome us and make our life's opus monotone...I want a symphony, I want to hear the melody and harmonies and overtones. I want to feel the nuances. #reflections #livinginthemoment #yolo
