Mamma Mia!

Here we go again…

Sometimes I wonder:  “Just how much is too much?”  How does one know when it’s time to just call it quits, put in your two weeks notice, or abandon ship? 

On the various paths of life, I’ve often found myself at crossroads.  At those moments, I ponder continuing on the current path, or branching out and trying something different.  There are often many considerations to be made and—as with most things—risks to be taken.  One such decision was coming here to Korea.  Another similar decision was/is “How long am I gonna stay??” 

Currently, I ask a similar question, with a small addendum:  “How long am I gonna stay in this same position, constantly asking myself if there is hope…?”  Part of the answer is easy- there is always hope.  Whether or not that hope proves fruitful in the way I want it to be is a little more difficult. 

I am on the verge of taking a leap of faith, if only to put my mind more at ease.  At the moment there are too many conflicting things jumbling around, which confuse me.  It happens often.

My greatest fear is that after I’ve taken that leap of faith, I may not find my footing when I land (Not that I have any experience with that, and broken wrists…).  I hope to find solid ground, and be able to continue on my way without stumbling.  I’ll admit-it’s one of my fears.

So there that is.  I’m a little conflicted, about to take a chance, and working on the confidence to take it all in stride.


This picture doesn’t have much at all to do with this post, I just like it…

My Wish

My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to. Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small. You’ll never need to carry more than you can hold. And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you and wants the same things too…

-Rascal Flatts/My Wish

This says a lot. It’s like a prayer, for the both of us.
