February has been more of a roller coaster ride than a month on the calendar. This month is leaving me feeling a bit dizzy, confused, and wonder struck.
Remember how you felt on your very first roller coaster ride? The first time you strapped into the seat and began on the endless climb to the top of the first drop? This month began just like that. A never ending climb that as distance from the ground increased my stomach grew more and more anxious and nervous.
You can see how the ride looks from the ground but experiencing it can be very different. 'What ifs' are flooding through your mind and it is difficult to steady your fears and find grace. It feels like it is taking forever to get to the top of this ride. As soon as you are there you only have a brief second left to try and breath in the experience. Tell yourself that no matter how this ride goes, enjoy it while you can. Before you know it you are thrusted full speed ahead dropping, twisting, and flipping. Before I knew it I was full speed ahead through to the end of this month fully heightened to every drop, turn, and flip I was feeling. The only way I can explain this sensation is to try and imagine the moment you step off that ride with your hair a mess not really sure how to embrace your emotions about what juts happened, but you are smiling to say the least. Wahoo, what a ride!
Now what? Your friends are shouting, "Again! or Next ride!" Why are we always in a rush to head to the next ride? Whether it is striving for another chapter in the same book or a completely new book, why does everyone crave a constant flow of change? February is closing and I am still that girl with her hair a mess trying to grasp a little clarity about my emotions and I am OK with that. I am better than OK with it. I think I will just stay right here and enjoy the memory of the ride with no intention of explaining any of it.
