I have been bed ridden the past few days due to the extraction of my wisdom teeth. In other words, I have had my computer in my lap for the past few days catching up on everything I've wanted to waste time on but have not had the chance for a while.  One of those things was blogging.  I keep wanting to start a fresh blog... from scratch... because I know this one has so much baggage. I find myself wanting to cut off from who wrote the previous ones not because I am embarrassed, but because I am different.  However, then I realize that the way I am right now is due to the fact that I was that way then.  Cassidy is still Cassidy... just with a few more experiences under her belt.  So, I guess I will stick with my baggage and continue on this journey... you know... the one less traveled by? I hear it makes all the difference.  

Hello, again

To say that it has been a while would be an understatement.  It has been over a year since I have written a blog and my goodness it feels good to type on a blank page again.  For quite some time I felt like I did not have anything of value to say, that anything I would write would be superfluous or forced; which is perhaps exactly what it would have been.  The past year has been one of the craziest rides yet.  If you had asked me a year ago what I would be doing today I would have never guessed that I would be working the job of my dreams, living in the most wonderful little house (with my cat!) and currently recovering from wisdom teeth surgery.  No, none of those things would have crossed my mind; however, I think that is the greatest thing about them.  I can remember being so angry at the beginning of last year because it seemed everything was falling apart and I had no idea what I wanted to do, needed to do, or had the ability to do.  I just knew that I was stuck and something needed to happen. Well, friends, after many months of floating, God finally slapped me awake.  I finally realized that I was not going to go anywhere just sitting and sulking; if I wanted to move, then I needed to pick up my feet! Doors may swing open, but without us walking through them we will never know what is on the other side! You see what I mean here?  I am learning that life is about walking... about keeping your eyes open and paying attention.  It is not about knowing everything or doing everything, it's about being present and making something out of what you have been given.


Alright, I am still getting my blogging legs back, so this may just be a bunch of random jumble but hey... it feels great to be back :)
