Waiting until the time is right......




I've noticed an alarming trend, and that's waiting for the time to be right....guess what?  The stars just never seem to be in just the right spot, and the temperature in the water will NEVER be just right to dive in.  Sometimes the only way to really get what you want is to go for it.....and fix the other variables later.  Strangely enough, sometimes the best things seem to come out of making a decision....that didn't seem perfect at the time....but you just make it work.

Years ago, when I was attending college in New Hampshire....I decided that I wanted to go to school in Italy for a year. Instead of staying in NH, and then going to Italy, I thought I might as well transfer to school in Boston, then take off for art school in Italy.  Moving to Boston was by no means the "perfect thing" to do.  I transferred last minute, found an apartment two weeks before school started, and moved to a new city with my yellow lab, and knowing absolutely no one.  Needless to say I made it work......it was a bit hectic for a while.....but it happened, and my life was never the same after.   That said, I never did make it to Italy, other things happened instead.....but I can't imagine how different my life would be if I hadn't been willing to take a chance.

The time will never be right, but if you're open.......you can make it happen.

Stay healthy and gorgeous!
