Lots To Learn

Making changes in your life comes with a lot of opportunities to learn.  And the numbers and variety of things that you learn is amazing sometimes.  I was beginning to feel at one point that I was having to learn so many things in such a short period of time that my head was going to explode.  But I am happy to say that it didn't and now the learning has slowed up a bit and is coming at me in a much more manageable pace.  Oh, I am still learning a lot and am doing it constantly, but it is no longer feeling like I may drown in the effort to keep up with it all.

So what am I having to learn.  Well the biggest thing is not to worry and to believe in myself and what the future can hold.  I am infamous for saying the most negative thing that I can about my situation and, well to be quite honest, that has gotten me nowhere.  I have always fancied myself to be one who can tell you what he future has to hold.  Well that is not true.  I don't know what is going to happen in five minutes, the next hour, tomorrow or next week.  And I know this because I have been very surprised by some of the events that have occurred in my life when I was least expecting them, such as meeting the love of my life.  If you had told me that day what was going to happen in it, I would have called you crazy.  But I tell you what, it did happen and I am so grateful that I was open to the experience.


I have also been learning many other more practical lessons lately, like how to set up a web site and business.  How to make something beautiful, like a piece of jewelry and how to care for animals in need, I went to school to become a veterinary assistant last year.  I really feel like my brain has probably doubled in size and am glad that my actual head hasn't, that might look funny.  I am still learning in many of these areas and an having a great time doing it.  Fortunately, most of the learning I am going through right now doesn't include any tests or term papers, my least favorite parts of school.  So I say bring it on world, teach me all you have and all you want.  I want to know it.  And I just hope you can teach me not to be afraid of not knowing something and how to do it anyway and I will learn in the process of doing.

Life Cycles

One day I realized that my life goes in 10 year cycles and that every 10 years I experience a shakeup in my life.  And I am not talking about a little shakeup, I am talking a Japan sized quake.  Everything changes and you are left with what feels like rock and ruin.  But somewhere out of that comes opportunity and rebirth.  In the last year of my life this happened to me again.  It seems that with the beginning of each new decade I must restart my life.  So here I am restarting again.  I have decided to follow my heart and pursue some dreams that I put off for practical reasons.  Really when it seems that everything is falling apart anyway, who cares if something is practical or not.  To bring you up to speed, I lost my job, went back to school to learn to be a veterinary assistant, I have always wanted to work with animals, and am starting my own internet business selling my homemade goods.  If it sounds like a lot, well it is.  But I have not been this excited or motivated in a long time.  I am truly excited to see what this new cycle brings and I know it will be amazing, because the good news about the 10 year cycles of my life are that each one gets better, more exciting and more successful.  So bring it on universe, show me what you got.
