Knock, knock!

I love when life drops opportunities at my doorstep!
I had an early meeting planned for this morning. It was an opportunity to keep a project I am working on moving forward. Last night's storm however left one of the attendees stranded as her neighborhood is one gigantic sheet of ice.
Meeting postponed!
So where is the opportunity in this?
Right in front of me. I now have 3 hours that would have been eaten up between the meeting and the drive to and from the meeting. 
Admittedly I did squander away the first hour,handling some tasks that I had previously pawned off on someone else and allowing myself to take my foot off of the gas pedal of life. 
There are changes underfoot in my world.This is no real news. Change is a constant. However, some of the changes in front of me are bigger than the incremental ones that I am accustomed to.
I feel like this all started during my week away with myself.
That week away was like riding a bicycle for the first time with out training wheels.
After a wobbly start, I quickly gained my confidence as I rode around the neighborhood that was very familiar to me. 
Having this new found freedom,I find myself venturing further and further from what was my comfort zone.
The farther I extend myself, the more confident I become. 
Confident and adventurous.
The immediate future, while still fraught with uncertainty,will be filled with some major shifts and course changes. 
A lot of what I am staring at has me thinking "well this is uncomfortable!".
Growing is uncomfortable. That's a given.
Parts of my "new future" even feels scary.
Feel the fear and do it any way!
I am amazed that from something that once felt so off putting, the idea of being alone, I am finding an energy and excitement that has not existed in quite some time.
It's quite a remarkable experience.
Like I said at the top......I love when opportunity comes knocking!
