The other day I saw a piece of driftwood with stones all throughout the natural grooves. I related to those stones. Some were placed there, some washed up, and they all had their own story. It made me realize that we all have a place in this world. Sometimes it takes a little longer to figure out the right spot. I think that life happens in moments. As I get older and meet new people I realize that these moments are so important.
This past week I was able to share my new city with one of my very best friends. I was able to show her all of the reasons that I have fallen in love with Washington. I think that my favorite day was our trip to Mount Rainier National Park. The day was beautiful-the sky was clear and the snow had melted down enough for us to adventure on some trails. We found a river opening near the base of the mountain. It was a moment. In a space that beautiful words are lost, literally, but memories are created. I hope to forever remember the feeling I had in that moment. I felt small and mighty all at once. I realized and thought about my greatness in the midst of mountains. How could I feel that amazing and small at the same time?
I have been on a journey of positivity since I started blogging. I have shed hair, weight and negativity. I have grown a lot and I still have a lot to learn about myself. I still have more to shed. When I was in the midst of nature I realized that my soul is just beginning to soar. I am just getting my wings and I will only begin to feel more and more amazing. I cannot even pretend that negativity does not creep into my life. I have plenty of dark clouds, but I choose to consistently chase after the rainbow. What other option is there? I am a fighter. I am an overcomer. I am an adventurer. I am a DOER. It has taken me far too long to realize these facts about myself, but I am making it public knowledge that I refuse to turn back now. I will continue to make every effort to see my beauty and the beauty in the world around me; no matter what dark clouds may come my way. Here’s to experiencing every moment.
