Life did

I was driving back from Seattle yesterday and was thinking I should write a blog. I write every Friday and I hadn’t written one yet.  I was contemplating the drive, the trip, my life and how life just hadn’t ended up how I thought it would.

And in my head, I titled my blog, Life Didn’t. 

And then I was going to talk about how I had all these expectations out of life that had gone unmet or were in complete disarray or non-existence.  

And then I realized it was my birthday tomorrow.  And I was like, shoot, I’ve already written that story in long form like the last 3 years. 

And I didn’t want to write that story again. 

So sure, I lost another job.  Another relationship.  Had a couple of accidents.  Found myself in too many positions, alone, wondering how this ended up as my lot.

But… I got another job, have so many beautiful relationships, traveled to spaces and places I’d never imagined, saw my company grow and my students succeed at the highest of levels, welcomed my niece into the world, had sweet times with the parents and family, and had so many delicious cold brews.

So yeah, you might find me DoorDashing someone a meal or paddling across the ocean to another island or teaching Spanish and Bible at a high school or road tripping into the mountains or passing out beverages at a local event or creating on-line curriculum for elementary kids or most likely, at your morning Barre3 class or at your local coffee shop working on the next hustle, the next dream, the next article, the next everything.  Because there’s no reason to stop at Life Didn’t. 

Life did.
