...so wait for me this time.

Time, where did you go?

It was like going back in time. I reconnected with a very important piece of my past-I hadn't seen him since I was 16, but it was like those years never happened. My hands were shaking, my heart was pounding-I felt like a teenager again. There was so much unfinished business, so many things left unspoken between us...it was amazing how he and I reconnected and went on like nothing happened. In another place and time, he and I would have been perfect for each other. But, that's life...

I hit a turning point in my life-I'm standing at the metaphorical fork in the road. It could not have been a better time for a vacation-some time to get away and think long and hard about where to go from here. I love the ocean. Everyone has that one place where they are truly at peace with themselves-the ocean does that for me. I sat on the beach this morning, drinking coffee and watching the sun come up... For the first time in a long time, my mind was clear. The chaos that's been swirling around in my head slowed down enough for me to make sense of it.

I finally know where to go next...
