Turning A New Leaf

It's officially the end of summer and the first day off autumn. I can't believe that summer went by so fast. I felt like most of my time was spent working in my cold office building, in class, or trying to finish up homework for my UCLA extension classes. I did get to hit the beach several times this summer, but not enough for me to soak in all the summer sun. I saw a couple of trees in my office parking lot changing colors. Shades of orange, red, and yellow tell me that time waits for nobody.

When I think about the changing seasons, I can't help but think about the changing seasons of my soul. My external circumstances are pretty much the same. Today marks the second year at my company. My original plan was to work at my company for six months, and then go back to teaching. Some how six months turned into two years. It's weird to think about where I was two years ago and where I am today. Like I said before, the circumstantials have not changed much, but I definitely know that my soul has gone through a lot of trials, refinement, and change.

I see myself in a different and healthier light, and I'm still in the process of harvesting my true self. I don't know the grand purpose of my life and I'm still trying to figure out what I want be when I grow up, but I think, for now, that's okay. They say, "you reap what you sow", and I do hope that my harvest this season is plentiful. Happy Autumn!
