.......yeah, this is a good feeling.

Don't you love the feeling when everything starts coming together and things are just working in your favor? That's how I feel right now. And it's really amazing that only 2 months ago, I was wondering if I would ever feel like this or be in the place mentally ever again. I felt like I had the mythical "weight of the heavens" like Atlas (quick fact: Atlas in Greek mythology was responsible for holding up the heavens to keep heaven and earth from touching each other.) But one day, I made a choice. I chose to not let my troubles keep me from my life. I had too much to do and too much to live for to let any kind of problem create a wall in front of me that I can't climb. But isn't that just how life is? One great big obstacle course full of walls and pitfalls, and forks to see what will make you crack? This reminds me of one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost called "The Road Not Taken":

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Like the rain, the happiness washed away all my negativity and renewed my confidence and faith that everything will work out and that all I need to do is keep moving forward and let the pieces fall where they may. (preferably in my favor, but you never know.)

Well that's all for this edition of "Skech My Dreams". Remember: Don't linger on bad things and focus on the good in life.

Keep your creativity close, let your imagination run, live for the moment, and always have fun.
