Have you ever had a wakeup moment? A moment when you suddenly start thinking about where you are in life, where you have been and where you want to go? It can be satisfying or it can be disconcerting.
I had one of those moments the other day and I was just plain confused by it. Seems I must be at some juncture in my life, at a crossroads, if you will. I felt frustrated, perplexed and excited, exhilarated – all at the same time.
Do you ever just keep moving, keep doing, avoid thinking about any of it, because, if you do you might stop and realize something that you don’t really want to realize? Or, if you realize it everything might come to a complete stop and then where would you be?
I am grateful for many things, things are happening, things are moving forward and yet, there are things which need to be corrected, or, just left to the wayside and some things I simply need to give up on and move away from.
Is that really a wake up moment, or, just another day-in-the-life and I happened to stop and think about it?
I like doing things, moving forward, giving everything I have for the things I believe in and I know, I know, if I keep on keeping on, stay positive, keep believing… but, still, what if?
Ah… ever so frustrating and yet, ever so exciting.
Then I figured it out:
It’s all part of the journey and it is okay!

I had a wake up moment 16 minutes ago when I heard a pc of electronic equipment beep like the battery was run down.
Reply to NancyI checked my cell, checked the other cell, checked my pc & my laptop. It is coming from somewhere else and I can’t find it. And, I cannot imagine what it is.
I have too many electronics.
I’m so there, too! There are just so many things that keep happening in my life lately…too many for coincidence. I really get what you are saying.
It is the journey…and a great ride at that!
Reply to C_artHow right you are Bryan. I, too, find myself at a cross road in my life and have realized I have to adapt to new things and let go of others. Like you, I find the change and the possibilities that come with it exciting and yet those “what if”s vex me all the same. I also try to keep the mind set of “just keep moving forward”. Maybe if I zig-zag enough I won’t get tagged (ha-ha)-now there’s a real ADD thought! lol :]
Reply to AnnaYup. One day I woke up and wanted to be an actor instead of a computer programmer. At about the same time my lovely wife woke up and wanted to be a financial planner instead of a medical researcher.
