enJOY it

There is something about being 30,000 feet in the air that makes your head clear.  It might be the low cabin pressure.  Or it might be the view.  Or it might be the battle for the armrest.

But today, I got up there, and it became clear.  Much clearer than two layer thick plastic.

I am graduating in 3 months minus 4 days.  And then I will be free.

Free to find a plan.

And that is such a good thing. 

I have spent so much time worrying.  And stressing.  About being accepted by a company.  But I forgot that this is really an opportunity for me to find what I like.  What I actually want.  Finally all of the plans and the ideas could become something.  And that is totally exciting.

When I was little, I always had a scheme.  I opened the 35173 (‘ELISE’ when typed into a calculator and held upside down) Hair Salon.  I convinced Robbie to cook dinner (and charge money) for Mom and Dad.  I started the frame business.  I came up with millions of little plans.

And it was fun.  Because I was 7-17 years old.  And it was just plans.

But now I have an education.  And any of my plans could be real.  And that is so full of possibility.  And so exciting, regardless of the fact that it means I need to develop some focus and get to work.

And Mr. Possibility?  The man I flew so high in the air to see?

He is driven and handsome and supportive and wonderful.  He’s my better half. 

And it is so good to be whole again.
