The Days in Between

Hi.

I'm Elizabeth

Liz for short.

This is my blog.

It will highlight my new beginning. (Hopefully)

For reasons that I will not divulge, I find myself at a crossroads in my life.  I cannot go back, yet I am scared to go forward.

However, rather than feeling sorry for myself, in light of my new circumstances, I have decided to celebrate this journey.  I know it will be worth celebrating at some point. (Again, hopefully)


The description mentions a dream.  My dream.

It's not an uncommon, unreachable dream.  It's not a spectacular, wild or imaginative dream.

It's just my dream, and I'm quite fond of it.

(-tangent alert-) It's not even really a dream, but more of a goal.  However, the word "dream" sounds magical and special, while the word "goal" sounds depressing and makes me think of losing weight or homework.  Yuk.

So, "dream" it is.

Okay, now for the bad news. (Here comes the catch)

.....

I have to wait for my dream.

That is the funny thing about dreams.  They wouldn't really be dreams if they weren't worth the wait.

Think about it.  If the Prince had found Cinderella after the first glass slipper fitting, would the fairytale be worth telling?

And it's not like I can reach my dream if I just hope real hard.  Unlike Cinderella, getting all dressed up and experiencing a wardrobe malfunction (get it?) will not get me my dream.

I really have to wait.

For the right time.  The right place.  The right...-everything.

Doesn't that sound like fun?

Again, instead of complaining and feeling sorry for myself, I have learned something.

Maybe it's not about the dream.  Maybe it's about the getting to it.

I mean, what do we really know about Cinderella after the prince returned the slipper and they lived "happily ever after"?  Very little.

But we all know about her journey before the ball.

So, after much contemplation, I have come to a conclusion.

I am not going to tell you my dream.

Because it's not about the dream.

My happily ever after will come one day.  And it will be wonderful...

But what about all the days in between?
