at long last....

Ever searched for something for so long, that eventually you sort of forgot what you were looking for in the first place? Had given up hope, maybe coming to terms that it might never be found? Perhaps even frustrated that it was lost in the first place?


Yep, me too, on so many levels.


But this morning I stumbled across a clue. A hint. Maybe it's not gone forever! My routine this morning was the same as always, but I looked at something just a little bit differently. Maybe it was the lighting in the room, the angle, a more open mind, but my hope is renewed.  


I smiled a vaguely familiar smile...

There have been times in my life that I have felt strongly that I need to double my efforts in preparation for something. Is it to be a better Dad, Husband, or boss? I don't know. I still don't know.

Great post.

how poetic! some of my favorite readings in college were from the transcendalists (emerson and his transparent eyeball, etc.) and this reminds me of that :)

it's all a matter of perspective.

I know what you mean, if I squint my eyes just right and the light is just right and I'm turned the exact right angle in front of my favorite mirror, I see hope too......... Ha, good for U!

Nice post!
But if it's "my" mind you stumbled across, can you please send it back since I've been looking for it for quite some time now!

lindsay said...

so... it seems i am the only idiot who doesn't get the poeticness/symbolism of this post :)

whatever it is - sounds like it was a good thing and for that, i'm happy for you!

Alisa said...

Soooo true.

Denise said...

hmmm, this could be applied to something i'm thinking/stressing about right now...hopefully i'll find it soon.

Carolina John said...

I'm very curious now. what did you see that you forgot you were looking for? I remember last year when I looked down and saw my penis for the first time without having to suck in my gut or bend over. it was amazing. I forgot that was a side effect of weight loss.

The Happy Runner said...

Good for you, Mel! Keep that smile :-)

Becca said...

Amanda - RunToTheFinish said...

this almost gave me chills and now I wish I was in Miami so I could go for a run, instead of in the office where they might notice that kind of thing

Jill said...

That was a great, inspiring post, Mel! Thanks!!!!

Aka Alice said...

I'm guessing that what you saw is different than what Carolina John saw last year...

I'm just guessing :-))
