Life Moves On - New York-Style

This weekend I have been in New York with James. First visit in six weeks – our longest separation. I am so happy to see him. We are more than half way through our time-apart adventure, with me in France and him in the US. So we’re on the down hill now. Good.

Our main objective this weekend is to find an apartment in New York. James will be moving within a couple of weeks. I will follow once I am finished at Le Cordon Bleu. Big plans in the future for us. Not exactly sure what yet. But that will fall into place.

Searching for an apartment reminded me that life is progressing. Moving forward. Regardless if I am ready or not. Sometimes we deny life's progression, but only in our heads. As time can not be stopped.

My world of Paris and LCB will one day come to an end. The moment will arrive when this experience. This very blog. And life as I know it. Will be nothing more than records of the past. Tucked away as a remember when.

Yes, yes. There will be life understandings, skills, and clarity that will forever be with me. Something far greater than living the moment - gained wisdom and knowledge.

I am conflicted. Trying to live in the moment. But does that deny the future? Or. Does thinking about the next to come. Cause current happenings to be ignored?

I suppose, like everything. There is a balance. Some where in between. Some where there is a space that helps me soak up my surroundings. While preparing for the next adventure.

Trying so hard to respect both today and tomorrow. Without cheating. Either one.

  1. This comment resonated with me as this has been a year of change and next year will be as well. The only constant in life is change. Knowing next year will be different makes me treasure each day of this year, yet I must make plans to move ahead so I can face the future.
