Okay, enough about the closet.
...as I stood in the doorway to my closet with new orange tub on the floor being filled with long sleeve shirts, jackets, and other things that I will not need, but would like to keep for when I move into wherever I move into in a couple months I started thinking. Dangerous I know, especially after a long weekend of hours spent with only the company of a small furry creature that sure is cute, but not a great conversationalist. I was thinking again where I'd been, how the four months in this south state had flown by. How much I've changed in that time period. We are always changing, growing either for good or for bad, never for indifferent. If that happens we get spit out so better keep changing. I argue that there is no way you can't change; life circumstances, the passage of time dictates that it must happen in some way whether it is as simple as your hair and nails naturally grew during that time. How have I changed? What do I want? What path do I wish to explore?
Changes:
- got a bit of a tan
- learned a lot of neuro
- take more time for Sam moments
- able to run up to 10 miles without stopping
- better at speaking and understanding Spanish
- more aware of alone time for me and others
- even less attached to things or rights, though I still like them and sometimes yearn for it
- to continue developing my Spanish skills
- to have a job in Houston
- to live with someone who shares my organized and cleanliness side
- to have a dog, a low maintenance one
- to share life with someone and be comfortable being myself at the end of the day
- to get more involved with church events
- to find my nook to serve in the community here
- job treating the poor vs treating the rich (both need Jesus)
- job treating general population vs athletes vs kids vs adolescent athletes vs all neurological patients
- work for a large company or a small one
- make less money serving the underprivileged vs make more and use it to help the underprivileged and fund trips to serve
- live in the city or out a little ways
- house or apartment
- alone or with someone else
If I could dream and imagine the perfect scenario not thinking logically on a lot of levels this is what I would dream would happen the end of June, beginning of July....
I would take a job working at an outpatient PT clinic where a variety of patients are seen from kids to adults with all kinds of diagnoses. Along with that I would see athletes from adolescents to adults who need sport specific training and we have a pool available for aquatic therapy. My job is in a city of diversity and that would be reflected in the patient population thereby allowing my Spanish skills to continue being challenged. I would work 4, 10 hour days allowing a day during the week to enjoy the outdoors and time with friends. My dog Tres loves to go running with me most days and enjoys sleeping on a large green pillow the size of an inner tube while I am gone at work all day. But my roommate is home earlier on the days I'm working long days to take him out and such. The house is two bed two bath with enough room for entertaining guests and a backyard big enough for a cooking out and letting Tres stretch his retired running legs. My roommate is also cool enough that when I leave town for my week trips to Nicaragua two to three times a year she loves taking care of Tres. The house is not far from work, friends, or a park that has lots of dirt trails through the woods that allow for tons of nature time.
yeah, dream big, that's what you gotta do right...that's what I'll do and I'm excited to see how much more God will bless me beyond my wildest dreams:) Until then we'll just keep changing.
