Eyes Forward

I have felt very much at the foot of the mountain lately. At the bottom of the ladder, the beginning of the race. I have felt very twenty-three.

It is nice to have some stability. I am graduated and working, at least sort of a real person. I am getting back in to some steady habits with the writing, which is good. Which is the point. And that's what I have to hold on to. 

I'm at the beginning in a lot of areas. In writing, in work, even in friends since I'm in a new area. But I do have writing to point me forward. I know what I want, and what I need to do. It will take time and a lot of work, much of it tedious, but I can do it. I can do it because I know where it is going to take me.

I have my family. I have work to pay rent. I have a cell-phone to communicate with my friends. I have Downton Abbey. 

So much more to go, but you know what? That's okay. Because life is good.

Think of it this way - when you're at the foot of the mountain, the only way to go is up.

This is such a positive post. Being in a good place, but having something to strive towards is perfect. Enjoy!
