~:[CH7 - Day 9]:~ Lost in it All

I did a second take as I saw the sky reflect across the water soaked ground. The storm was passing by and the beauty that I looked for yesterday had shown itself. The light had finally shown through and the beauty I've waited for had finally arrived. As I stopped to stare out in the distance, I got lost in it all. Life is tough. A day full of stress and fatigue is tough, but the challenges and obstacles of life, the heartache, the disappoints and the tears make it tougher. Regardless, despite all the struggles and the pain, you are shown something that gets you lost, where the fine line between reality and dream become blurred, where you seem to get lost in it all. Life is not an easy gig for anyone, however, we must endure. As while we work so hard, we catch ourselves lost. We make mistakes, we forget things, and we let our emotions get the best of us, but that's exactly what makes life interesting - unpredictability. While watching a new episode of a drama today, I think this story fit this blog the best. A chipmunk worked so hard to gather two acorns for the winter. The chipmunk ate one and buried one for safekeeping. Unfortunately, he could not find it and felt as if he was at a loss. However, after the winter and into the spring, that acorn grew leaves, sprouted into a tree and gave way for a forest of acorn trees.  (Just Between Lovers) Whether on purpose or not, we are destined to spread our influence and make way for something magical and as we site today looking at the awesomeness that life has to offer, we can sit confidently knowing that as we are lost in it all, we will spread our influence and soon, we will harvest from the forest of our own creation. As I sit her lost, thinking of all of the missed opportunities and the dark moments of my life, I wish that I can change the way things have gone, as while there have been some great moments, I may not be where I hoped I would be. However, even if by accident, I must know that eventually, something I planted along the way may grown into something even grander than I could have imagined, sometimes, it just takes a little longer to show itself. As I take one more look at the reflection I know that while it may have yet to be seen, that one day, I'll see the sprout that I've waited for for so long.
