Finding your place under the sun...or the moon :)

I’m starting a new chapter in my life. It will entail going to class at night for the next year. I have hee-hawed back and forth in my mind over it. Finally making the commitment. I am in the blessed percentage of not only being employed, but being in a field that will always have plenty of job opportunities available. So why go through the struggle? Obviously I have questioned my own decision about this matter. I can only compare it to the parking garage at work. I always park on the top level. Roof top. No shelter to protect the vehicle from the elements. Neither myself if it happens to rain. Same spot every time. Either the moon or sun will greet me when I arrive. And also when I leave. It’s a joy for me. Like a cat finding her favorite sun spot. Of course there are days where my spot is taking. Then I will park anywhere on the rooftop. But lately there have been days where all the roof top spaces are taken already. And I’m stuck scooting around the parking garage with the other people who prefer being under the cover of the building, or getting a close spot to the elevators..you know. And they keep circling the garage, as I’m caught behind them, thinking “ Where the %@ are you going people”. It makes me feel like I’m in one of those magnetic cars on the play table. But I get it. People want to get to their spot just the way I want to be in my sun/moon spot on the roof top. I actually have to tweak my attitude when I don’t get that spot. Shake it off, keep going. So metaphorically speaking I see this new chapter as finding my sun/moon spot in life. I already know what it feels like when I get there.
