A treat for me

I'm finally getting settled into my new office and I decided to treat myself to a piece of art. There are so many talented artists in the area! Our wonderful libraries display artwork by local painters, which is a great place for me to view and browse as I spend a lot of time at the library. The painting I purchased is called Long Journey, and when I saw it, I knew it was perfect...it spoke to me.  It's hanging in a prominet spot in my massage treatment room, and it reminds me of something very important; life is a continuing journey.

I've been feeling a bit like I took a step backwards, moving to a smaller space that I share with others. Shouldn't I be in my own place by now, making oodles of money doing massage? But then I stop and remember that I am pursuing a writing career, with the intent to do less massage and more writing. I can't do everything, and sometimes sacrifices must be made in one area to reap rewards in another. So, this place I am now is just another stop along the way of my Long Journey, and I know it's the perfect spot for me to occupy at this time to continue to follow my dreams.

On this wonderful journey of life, I rmember to enjoy every step of the way and keep in mind that, like an orgasm, getting there is half the fun!
