Live It! Love It!

Talk about an inspiring day. I seriously feel like I have totally revamped my life and my attitude in the last 24 hours. I feel like I have FINALLY come to terms with a situation that has been lingering over me and I feel like it held me back a lot last week. I was kind of up and down in emotion because of it and woke up this morning feeling really good and as I was laying in bed, I said a little prayer about the situation. I knew that I just wanted to let it go and give it to God. It was put into my life for a reason, I think I learned from it and I was ready to let go and give it back. I am learning that if you can let God into your life just a little more, he will take care of it. I went to church this morning after this experience and I feel like I have started the week on a good note and I am feeling really strong.

Today was one of the most exciting days of my life. I decided to see where the road would take me. This was after a little thought provoking text message from my manager, Bill. I was going to head over to Tallahassee and then up to Macon then onto Atlanta this week. That got tossed aside when I was told I didn't need to be back for a vendor meeting on Thursday if I didn't want to be so that kind of got me thinking that Tampa was calling my name. As I was driving to Tallahassee, I text messaged Bill and told him I would be back on Monday and was headed to Tampa. I love randomness and I am so happy I made this decision. Tampa is BEAUTIFUL and I could definitely see myself living here. After my hippie lifestyle days are over, of course. First things first.

I went to Davis Islands for dinner tonight and had the best shrimp I have ever eaten in my life. It was fresh and tasted so good. The people were really nice too. It was a small family owned restaurant and as I was paying my bill, it started pouring. The daughter came out and offered me an umbrella to take to my car, but I opted to sit there and watch the torrential downpour. It was relaxing and something I would rarely take time to do. When the rain slowed down, I walked to my car and the warmth of the rain water on my feet was actually quite nice. It doesn't seem like they have the best drainage systems here because lakes and puddles build up everywhere. I kind of just wanted to start splashing around.

I am really looking forward to my day tomorrow. I have quite a few things I want to get done that are work related and then I want to take a run along the boardwalk. I feel like I have turned another corner in this journey and I can't wait to see what this week will bring. I have some big goals that I want to accomplish and I know if I take each day and do a little bit towards the larger picture, I will get there.
