Today while talking with someone I made the comment that I am happier now than I have been in the last few years. It made me stop and think. I am. We all have moments when we are down. But in the grand scheme of things... I'm happy. A couple of weeks ago I posted on FB "Today I expressed aloud a hope for my future that I have not expressed in quite some time. My problem is the years are just ticking by...this is supposed to be my future." It made a couple of people worry I suppose, they thought something was wrong. It's not that there was something wrong, it was that I had finally realized that I had stopped hoping for my future. I had become resigned in my present. I don't know what my future holds, but I hope there's the kind of love in it that I saw between my grandparents growing up and that I see now in my best friend and her husband. So, yes, I'm looking forward. Learning to balance the hope for that love and the disappointment of realizing that I don't have it yet.

I love this blog entry for 2 reasons. 1) I am SO proud of you for not backing down from your career in light of challenges. You made a plan, saw it through, and continue to look for ways to better yourself as an individual and for your career.
2) This proves sometimes we stand in our own way of progress- and the only way to see growth is to move forward. :) So perfectly titled. Continue to make health goals and personal goals- you're dedicated and I am so proud of you!
