Life is about taking chances.

I'm pretty sure by this point in the week all of you crazy fools are about sick of ALL the quotes, life lessons, beautiful words spoken by a few famous people, song lyrics, et al. Yes? Me too. Me tooooooo.

My lack of blogworthy moments has stemmed from a multitude of things. Lately, I've found myself in the middle of nowhere, seeking out the next best thing (per usual), and trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing. With my life, of course. Luckily, almost everything else has fallen quite nicely into place. I'm more than happy with my (selective, if you will) group of friends, my family is more than in love with me and thinks that I hung the moon, my dog admires me on a daily basis, the sun shines on me everyday, and I can honestly admit I have very few times where I feel like the "walls are caving in."

However, when it comes to my career...I get that blank stare, deer in headlights look, my brain turns to jello, my entire body goes numb, I look in the mirror and say, "What the hell are you doing?!? Seriously. WHAT.ARE.YOU.DOING?"

I'm an overly compassionate individual. I feel the need to help everyone, whenever I can. I get satisfaction out of a smile from a complete stranger, if I can make my best friend laugh when she's hit rock bottom..well, that's just fantastic. My "people skills" are more than above average, and it's time I put this into action. In fact, it's waaaaay past due. I've made a few phone calls, got in touch with the right people, and soon enough...I'll be well on my way to something bigger. Something I'm still trying to wrap my head around. Something that's somewhat mapped out, but entails an enormous amount of opportunity...and smiling..and people. A career where I leave everyday feeling satisfied, there's gratification by the boat load, and a chance for me to make a difference in someone else's life. Does it get any better than this? Doubt it.
