Getting started and experiencing life in Naperville...

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Residential

Good morning!

It is Thursday morning. December 19th. A cold morning with temperatures in Naperville in the mid teens…

I sit at my computer. My fingers bounce on the keyboard, typing words and thoughts, yet none of the words seem to be coming together in any worthwhile, cohesive story…

This is unusual for me. Usually one with lots to say, I enjoy typing my thoughts every morning, creating something worthwhile, and sharing them with you…

However, today is somewhat different. 

I have no great vision. No plan for my writing. Directionless a bit, I guess…

Perhaps that is my mood of the day?

This week has been an interesting week, for sure…

Emotions and feelings long since put away had been drug up…

Leaving me pondering…

And that is ok. Life happens. Stuff happens. Poop happens…

And I am feeling it. Experiencing it. Even sharing it…

Life is meant to be felt and experienced. Life is meant to be shared…

So as I sit, sipping my coffee and listening to soft music, waiting for the sun to rise, a feeling of contentment comes over me…

Somehow, out of nothing, I have created my story. Without a plan or even an idea, I was able to write. It just took getting started…

And so I will face this day. No clear path or direction, but get started I will…

Life is out there. Waiting for me. Waiting for me to dive in…

To get involved. To experience. To feel...

To live…

Hello Ken - sometimes when it seems we have "nothing" we find much.  It's there and not always well-covered.  Have a good Thursday.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your reflections. It's often those reflective times that bring us profound acceptance with what was - and help us better step into the now.

Hi Ken,
Life has a way of dealing us all kinds of cards, doesn't it?  It's up to us to figure out to play the hand.  Life is like a big game of poker. Sometimes we just have to bluff our way through to the next hand. 

As the saying goes:
"Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it." 

Onward...
