GO WITH THE FLOW

(Right now I am eating some horribly undercooked gluten-free cookies and I am definitely 
already in the regret stage.)

Life has been crazy lately.  Last week my Grampa passed away, I need to pick a major within the next 30 days, and I have some other future plans that require a lot of preparation and self-evaluation, which I am not the best at.  I feel like in my classes I am only half there, as if this semester doesn't quite 

feel real to me.

But...

 I am happy.

I feel concerned and a little lost but I have not let these decisions and situations override what could be the best semester ever.

My roommates and the next-door neighbors have never been closer, and it is great to have the level of trust and comfort that we have with one another.

I still have an awesome schedule and my professors are perfect.

I go on walks more often and I am super excited for a warm Utah spring (as opposed to a prolonged Minnesota winter.)

I have the means to take better care of my body and I have stuck to my goal of visiting 

the temple weekly.

But most of all, I am content with the pace I am moving at.

I haven't been on any dates, I don't have plans for a study abroad, there are no job opportunities lined up for me, and I still don't have that pesky housing situation figured out.

& I am fine with that.

Things will happen when they need to happen and me worrying about the timing is only going to cause grief.  I spent my entire childhood waiting to grow up and I am not about to make the same mistake twice.  (Although I must admit I do get baby hungry sometimes.)

Life goes on despite all of our planning and preparation, so we might as well relax and pay attention to where we are being led.

I am starting to become a believer in the rule of 3s.  When I see or hear of something three times within a certain window, then I pay extra attention and attempt to determine what I am to

learn from the signals.

Hopefully my ramblings will be useful to either future me or my non-existent readers.

"We keep moving forward, opening new doors and doing new 
things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps 
leading us down new paths."
