Caution...

...objects in mirror are closer than they appear.

So...have you ever reached for something (figuratively speaking) that seemed impossible to touch? Yeah, that's where I am right now; and I just wanted to share what I have discovered about the whole grab-the-brass-ring-reach-for-the-stars mentality.


Not that I am even sure what it is I am reaching FOR, I just know there's something out there and it seems just beyond my reach. When I was in The Dells for a short weekend vacation a couple of weeks ago, I took this picture of my mirror and it just hit me: that would be a great blog! Then I posted the pictures and promised the pic would become part of a future blog, and now, here I am. Blogging.


Here's the epiphany: sometimes the things we are stretching our hands out to are closer than we think. They are actually right in front of us. We can't touch them because we think that when we are wondering about our life, wondering about where we should be, we reach beyond the intended prize...so to speak. We pass the ring right along because our gaze is fixed on something entirely different than what is intended at that moment. We miss it. Completely. Everyting has to be complicated. Worrisome. Fretted over. Even depressing, for it all to MEAN something.


I'm getting something from this. I'm growing. And it will all be revealed in good time.


Waiting and watching...
