When something is right there, we eventually take it for granted. When it goes away, we begin to see its value. There is nothing wrong with having space between those things that you love and yourself. The important thing is to walk through that space occasionally to touch the other side.... When you live in Florida, you rarely get to the beach...but when you move away, you crave the warmth of its sun, the sound of the waves hitting the shore, and the feel of the small fish swimming between your feet.....you miss it... Lifes day to day routine gets in the way ..... its like a small tree that begins to grow upward, we find ourselves tripping over it to get to those things that make us happy. Occassionaly, we reach through the trees to touch....but, if we let it, the tree will grow high and wide and soon we see nothing but a few streams of sunlight coming through.....we know that on the other side there is something sunny and warm, and we want to feel that warm again.... Those streams of light have become my invitation to walk around the tree - the barrier of lifes day to day routine. An obstacle, which could keep me from taking time to be on the other side ..afterall, obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes of your goals. My goal in 2014 is to keep my eyes on those very things that bring me happiness....what are yours?
