short and sweet

Quick little post here... if you haven't heard the song Moment of Surrender by U2, you should.  This is a great song! Very powerful, especially live!

Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving has already come and gone!  Unbelievable!  It seems since I've left college time seems to quicken every year. ( Which it's not, but it seems like it)  This year was the first that I actually had to commute home for Thanksgiving having just moved into my apartment into September.  As we come into the holiday season,  I take time to reflect on the changes that have taken place in the past couple years, both the positive and the negative.   One of these moments has occupied my mind more and more as of late.  It's one of those moments in life that signifies the end of one chapter and the start of another.

Graduating from Moravian was one of those moments, one that I am most proud of, but one that more significance then I had initially considered.  As I departed a place I loved and learned to call home for 4 years it was with joy over having accomplished what I set out to do.  To earn a bachelor's degree.  It was a thrilling moment and after I walked off that stage with diploma in hand,  caught in the exuberance of the moment, it seemed to me nothing would change.  However things do change.  And as I learned you must change and adapt.   Plans to return to Pa turned into a job in CT for which I've been at over a year. A relationship that I thought would last forever turned into another what if.  But as some of my plans did not come to fruition others did  and today I am thankful for these expieriences, then lessons learned and the humbling lesson that sometimes the path is not always straight but there are twists and turns along the way which may take you to places you did not expect but none the less serves a purpose.

And so I give thanks for all that life brings as it continues to shape my life,  and I look forward to seeing what comes next!

So i'm venturing out into the world of blogging. Why? To express what's on my mind, to share ideas and to try another form of communication for which to express myself.

Now I have never really been good at expressing my feelings or thoughts and so one of the goals for this blog is to provide a forum for my mind and soul so that I may have another outlet for expression.

For those who read this blog( as I hope people will, especially my friends, I encourage and look forward to our conversation in this blog.
