Possibilities

Today was a fantastic day! It started off with me accompanying my good friend to my second attempt at a Fluent Fitness Boot Camp in Wash Park. Today I stuck with the routine the whole way through (with a lot of modifications, of course) but I felt great after. The people that run Fluent Fitness are fabulous and super motivational (as is my friend).

After this I went on a road trip up to Boulder with the parentals to show them where I will be working and gather their thoughts on when I should move, where I should live, etc. I left Boulder feeling much more optimistic about the possibilities that life will be giving me in exchange for the things/people that I will have to give up.

And to top things off I got to meet up with another lovely friend for happy hour! Today I really feel like I lived life to the fullest and appreciated the time I spent with the people I love. I'm very blessed! :-)

Transition

This is a weird time for me... since my last post I finally got a job in Boulder! Yay! So now I have all these crazy questions going on in my mind constantly: When should I move to Boulder? Should I transfer to a different Barnes & Noble? How long can I commute? How often will I see my nephew? Are my sisters and I going to grow apart? Will I still have as active of a social life as I do now if I move? Will I be able to afford everything? And the biggest one... why when I've gotten my wish am I having a hard time letting go of some things?

Of anyone I know I should be the master of letting go but it is something that I tell myself I am good at when in actuality I am not at all.

I guess I just need to trust in the process; I wanted this, I got it, and all will shake out as it is supposed to: the people that are meant to be a part of my life still will be and the ones that fade out were important for the time being but maybe they just aren't meant to be a part of my big picture, and I need to learn to be ok with this. It's a process, as everything in life is.
