Sometimes life seems to serve you up an empty plate, and you stand there, stomach growling, bitchy as hell because your choices are gone, and you are just friggin hungry. Your juice is gone, drunk too fast because you anticipated a free refill that never came, and the restaurant is closing. Then, there are those other times.
Perhaps it's simply a shift in perspective, and the restaurant was never closed, just changing the menu and resetting for a new day. Now, in my life, I find myself standing on the threshold of an all-you-can eat buffet. Want a job? Try tables 2, 3, and 4. How bout a new mate? Well you can check out tables 1, 5, and 8. LOL. So many things are changing and in flux right now, that my buffet has lots of tables, mounds of food, and nobody else in line.
It's rather intimidating, seeing all the possibilities, and the choices. Do I stay in management? Go into Education? Finally become a practicing Shiatsu Therapist? Or is there a whole other possibility that is hiding just around the corner that I haven't been able to see yet? The excitement is fun, and although I've been told my attitude is "cavalier", it feels great not to despair, clutching a forlorn empty plate.
And thankfully, my life is still full of choices. Choices that can make me ecstatic, or make me nervous. But choices are good, and I'll take a couple of servings, if you please.
