Claiming Now

Bringing this blog into reality has been a journey, and is also the beginning of a new journey. As I've worked at the logistics of creating a website I've struggled with not knowing how to accomplish simple tasks - like changing font color ;) In a fit of frustration after making less progress than I anticipated, I wondered why it couldn't just be done already. Why I couldn't just get to the part where everything worked perfectly. Then, with a deep breath, I realized that the joyful part about the process is creating all along. Yes, I want to be able to have an esthetic website, I want a platform to share my random thoughts, but part of the fun is figuring out what MY website looks like. Today I choose to claim right now. This moment. This emotion. I claim every minute of my life. I can see the lookout point in the distance, and it doesn't matter when I make it there, or if I ever do. Right now there are sweet flowers to smell, quirky rocks to find, strange bugs to observe. I claim my heavy moods, my frustrated words, my messy life. Because that means I can also claim my joyful moments and my beautiful thoughts.
