I have so many fresh starts going.....I think we can all relate to this. How many of us have had a path they were on, only to find out the path wasn't solid but made of sand? Thought we knew ourselves and those closest to us, only to find it a sea of strangers?
I got hit with this a lot in the past year and was scared of the change that was needed. Yet sometimes you have to dig deep and not be afraid of burning it all down and rising like a Phoenix. So I did. I let the fires cauterize the wounds knowing the scars would eventually turn silver. To shine in the light and give testament of building knowledge. Allowed myself to feel, manage the anxiety rather than suppress it, and trust that while all the new would be scary it was a beginning.
New place, new state, new job, new life, new boundaries, new mindset, new...new....new. And I've never slept better. My mare has gone from cranky, to looking forward to seeing me, trusting me and seems to have taken a deep breath herself. My filly has turned into a little spitfire, yet still curls into the hugs. Such a gift, may we all be so lucky.
I laugh more, enjoy life more, and trust myself.....well...still working on that......
A new school year starting and while I'm nervous, I own it rather than run. I know my story is a rather common one. For those that have lived any part of it, thoughts are with you. I hope you find your sunshine.
