Evolution

 

The only constant is...change.

 

I have found that my days have run together, and the bustle of life has me going full bore from time I pull my head off the pillow to the time I plop it back on there and fall fast asleep. The "not enough hours in the day" syndrome has been solved by simply sleeping less.

 

But I see some small changes in my life that continue to build toward bigger changes, and I see that I am indeed moving forward. I have planted myself firmly on the path toward the goals where I can feel good about ending my day "on time" and waking bright and early the next day, refreshed and excited about the life I have evolved into.

 

I am well on my way toward building my new business. Previous posts to this blog expressed my frustrations, but I have learned to deal better with what I can't change, and started making changes to things I can. So I am confidently moving forward to build my own business, my own success. I have new determination!

 

I have a beautiful daughter that I think the world of. I see a life full of delight and wonder opening up for her, if only I can do my part to show her the safer paths to take, how to avoid the major pitfalls, and support her in her good decisions. I don't think she accepts me the same way I do her. I think that might be normal for her age, and the fact that I am relatively new in her life.

 

You see, I married her Mom only 4 years ago. She didn't invite me into her life, I just showed up one day.

 

But I see her amazing talents, especially with music, and I see her trying so hard to be "gown up already" when it is so clear from where I stand that she has so far to go. She doesn't like to hear anything like this, understandably so, but I hope that during those treasured talks she is willing to have with me, that I am of some benefit to her.

 

I like those talks. I learn more about her every time. This is one of the reasons I invited her to join Tools. I am actually excited to talk about some of these subjects with her to see how she sees them, and how she thinks she can use them in her life. 

 

I hope our relationship will also continue to evolve and grow stronger. She's probably reading this, so...Dear Girl, know you are loved, even when it is love that causes me/us to make the hard choices for you.

 

Learn what you can here, and together, let's EVOLVE!  :)
