Someday.
Someday I will be rich! Someday I will hike Kilimanjaro ! Someday I will climb Everest ! Someday I will swim with great whites ! Someday .......Someday........Someday.........
We all have our someday's everyone of us .That we admit it out loud or not, as humans it is part of our genetic makeup to want or imagine "something "better for ourselves in the not so distant future. This is totally natural and some would say, it is a mechanism of hope for when things are maybe not going so well. It is absolutely a great "tool" within the provided arsenal of accoutrements at our disposal no doubt about it.The problem therein appears (in my opinion) when we forget to enjoy ,appreciate what it is we have right here ,right now! This has happened to my lots in the past and more recently this past week.
If some of you have noticed (or not) I originally joined this community I think it was around spring of 2014. I remember doing the first couple steps getting the welcome messages from Kyle and Carson and then poof !!! Nothing until not too long ago early or mid Feb I came on (again!) and went at it! The story I want to tell and the point of said story is this,life comes at you slow ,fast ,left,right,up,down all around !!!! If we lose sight of what is right in front us & don't stop and remember to enjoy it(whatever that may be) then really what's the point !! You wind up spending a lifetime fading through existence in the hopes of getting to the "better place".
About 3 weeks ago my mother in law passed away at the age of 81.She was a very nice lady who lived with us and my brother in law on and off for 10 years until she succumbed to bone cancer. Ironically that was the week I busted onto the scene at WA ! My ranking went from 5000 ish , to 1221 due to my flurry of activities online that week! I had a 5 day bereavement leave that I took full advantage of . In between helping out the family with arrangements and travelling north for the funeral I was "rock steady focused " and seemed to catch my second wind with WA and blew thru a bunch of courses got some things set up answered posts..................
So here we are I week back from all that and I find myself struggling the get back to that (mode) I was in when I had the week off. Every week for me is busy I leave early and come back usually not before 7 sometimes 8 at night.In between there are kids ,wife,soccer,tutoring,homework ,hockey,business travel,meetings.......I don't get back to the laptop usually until about 10 or 1030 at night. That has been my commitment to login everyday and see what is up and move things forward even a bit .But it felt like more of a chore this past week than the week before.
So as Is sit here writing this (my first blog) I am finding that elusive feeling again.The "mojo" that encapsulated that very funky week that for all intents and purposes, should have been very sad was indeed almost a rebirth of sorts ! I have no idea when or if I can sustain that kind of feeling that makes you think and feel that you can indeed leap tall buildings in a single bound !! I really don't !! Nor do I have any clue as to where that "flash of electromagnetic energy came from that week" !! But here's what I can absolutely remember to do ,stop ,breathe and remember that although I (we) are all here right now for different reasons with different aspirations we must never forget to enjoy the moment, journey , voyage ...... Because yesterday is gone ,tomorrow may never come and today is all any of us really have for sure .Let's not forget to enjoy what we have right now while we happily move to an even better plane of existence .
Going to work out now ! See you all in bit !

Keep going with your website. But your are also right - don't lose sight of the here and now! GOOD LUCK
Thanks strap appreciate it.I guess i felt a bit guilty about getting it on that week with WA with the family stuff going on ! Still am wondering what spurred me forward at such a time ?? It felt therapeutic to just put pen to paper about that, you know ? With the crazy schedule it is easy to get tired and cranky by the time I actually log in and do something for that day !! All I really wanted to convey was even if you get frustrated while doing WA , to remember why you are doing this and keep your eye/mind on the prize ,while being thankful for what is presently.
Anyway it was nice to hear back from somebody on the subject, thank you for that. The next one will be cheery I promise !
All the best !
