Walked into a downtown club at 11pm on a relatively “warm” night (it was probably 30 degrees…), and walked out at 2am to all white streets, sidewalks, and snow falling all around us. It was a pretty cool sight to see.
This morning from my front door:
The first snow happened about five weeks ago, and it’s been weirdly snow-free ever since that one day.
It’s starting to look a lot more like winter.
It’s interesting to think about circumstances, and how we might act differently based on them.
Big life changes don’t happen that often, but when they do, I think they always find a way to reveal something new about who we are. When circumstances change, we adapt and continue on. School graduations are pretty clear cut milestones. Likewise, exciting adventures, faraway trips, changing jobs, big moves, and new friends/circles also all represent a break from comfort.
I think that’s what has been the most exciting part for me packing it all up and moving halfway across the country. Circumstances are completely new. Everything I’ve ever been used to has been turned upside down. It’s given me the chance to re-discover the real me.
Watched The Lion King the other night. I hadn’t seen it since I watched the VHS in my wee days.
It’s a wonderful film and remains my favorite by Disney. The movie’s wisdom and symbolism still resonate with me. It also has some of the best music.
Circle of Life
- We all come and go, and fit in to the world somehow. That’s life.
- Love, don’t hate. Spread it.
- A problem-free philosophy. No worries for the rest of our days. Timon and Pumbaa keeping it real.
