I'm thinking ahead lately, and realizing that 2011 is going to be a year for great changes. For the moment, I want to appreciate things here, right now, just as they are. Big changes are intimidating, and sometimes difficult because I tend to overestimate the value of what I have/what I'm comfortable with, and underestimate the value of what I might gain by giving those things up. It always turns out to be refreshing when I "color outside of the lines", and although doing the comfortable and safe thing is not bad all of the time, it's an easy cycle to fall in to. You can only learn new things by DOING new things, and I'd like to learn as much from this place as I can before I'm on to the next...or that's what I tell myself when I get scared about things. I think it's ok to be scared, but not ok to hide. Come to think of it, that's probably why when we went to Punta Cana I didn't just swim in the ocean to get over my fear, I took it to the next level by swimming with sharks. And you know what? It turned out to be one of the highlights of my life so far!
Looking forward to diving in head first again soon......
