Having My Back

Yes… I am having one of those days. I LOVE PEOPLE. Do you ever get those kind of days? I do. The feeling overwhelms me. Sometimes it fills me up with joy, while other times I am filled of gratitude. This time, it was the latter. I feel so fortunate that I have people in my life who I can lean on but also help me rise.

There is not one incident or person that made me feel the way I do. As much as I would love to point my finger at one cause or event, there were a few things on the go that needed addressing. And, that’s ok. I started to believe that things were not working out, like it’s a sign from the universe and I couldn’t quite figure out the message… so it relents.

I almost felt like that hamster running in a wheel. Run faster or run slower… It didn’t matter. I felt like I was running in a circle and going nowhere. Although I may be exaggerating at bit, I started to think… “Really? Is this a test?” Life is based on what you focus on. I had to make decisions, take a stand, and commit. For a long while, I was focused the “wrong” things. Ok… they weren’t “wrong”… hence the quotation marks… but I was entranced by what was happening and avoiding particular outcomes versus thinking about what I could do. As a result, I could not see an end to my perceived misery.

Again, as vague as my blog is (on purpose)… what was happening overall was mind boggling. I had a choice… wallow in the struggle or reach out for help. With one conversation, one text message, and one email… I started to see my situation from a different point of view. All of a sudden, I was looking at something that was completely transformed into an opportunity for empowerment, choices, and possibilities. I am so grateful to those in my tribe who are there for me unconditionally to lend me a hand, listen, and enlighten me with their wisdom, kindness, and love. It feels good to know that someone has my back. The least I can do is have your back too. Thank you!!!
