a coffee break

ohmygosh was the conversation good!
we were just meetin' for a quick cup of
coffee..it'd been YEARS since we caught up!

we dug right into it.
and it got good.

she had a life changer happen when she was 28.
i mean......A LIFE CHANGER.

she's now 45.
she told me that someone close to her said
that he thought her life stopped back then.

i looked at her.

did it? i asked.

yeah, i think so. she said quietly.

wow.
i could feel the earth stand still.

it's not just her. it's me. it's tons of
people. it's most of us.

where did we let our life stop? when?
or at least parts of it?

we talked about that....
we talked about taking life back.

we talked about why we don't and what's
holding us....

and the 'deserve thought' that i had last
week surfaced.

i asked her about it.
tears filled my eyes.
i told her how i didn't feel i deserved
to be happy. way way down deep something told
me i had to hang back and not be totally happy.

she nodded.
she knew.

i got excited with her.

want to figure this out together?! i asked her.

grin.
she did.

i came home all energized.
funny......you'd think i'd be depressed.
i see all this work ahead for me.

but i'm so psyched.
i feel like there's so much ahead of me....

if i could just grab it!!!!
