Non-Linear Timeline

I started out wanting to do a book review every Tuesday and a post every Thursday. I always feel like I need to set strict guidelines in order to make this happen. That never works though, so I'm not sure why I thought it would this time.

Setting a Tuesday deadline makes me anxious because what if I'm not done with a book yet. What if I'm busy on Thursday or just don't have anything to talk about? Do I force a post instead of letting my intuition lead the way?

I'm going to have off days. My life, if you've been paying attention, isn't linear. It's never been linear, so why do I try to make it be?

You read all these tips and tricks about engagement and posting consistently, and truth be told, this space is more of a diary than anything. It doesn't hold all my secrets to protect the innocent (and not so innocent), but it's still a place that allows me to pour out tidbits of my soul as I sort through the thoughts that swirl in my head.

Yesterday was an off day. There was a general thread of sadness that weaved its way into my psyche after the gym. Feeling behind in life sometimes gets the best of me. Being a military spouse, starting over is the recurring theme. And while it has led to some grand adventures, and meeting some of my most favorite people, sometimes...the quiet of all the dreams delayed gets hella loud.

That was the energy of yesterday. Today is a new day. A day to remind myself that what is meant for me will not pass me by, and that I am blessed and highly favored. That favor has shown itself time and time again, so there's no need to start doubting it now.

Life is about enjoying the journey, so rushing to the destination takes all the fun out of exploring, right?

Remind me of that next time.
