Reflecting back on my posts over the past eight months, holy crap! have I gone through a lot of changes. Some are good, some are not so good … some are my doing and others circumstantial. However, the one thing that stands out for me is what a different place I am in today as opposed to when I began Life After Normal.
When I started this blog, I decided that my tagline would be “Life Never Goes According To Plan … And Blogging is Cheaper and Easier Than Therapy!”. While this is certainly still true, I feel that this statement is no longer relevant to my current state of mind.
Back in August, I had so much anxiety, sadness, anger and uncertainty that I didn’t know where to turn. But eight months later, I feel that I have made a transformation — a small one, but a transformation nonetheless. I am no longer searching for answers, but rather trying to make myself a better and more complete (and happy!) person. The journey is ongoing — as are the emotions, challenges, and drama. But I’ve made some significant changes, and no longer feel that my focus is on “getting over it”, but rather “moving forward”.
That said, I present my updated tagline:
Navigating the unexpected in search of health and happiness
Although I do a lot of writing personally and professional, I am well aware that my weakness is coming up with creative headlines and titles that are short, snappy, and interesting. So I WELCOME any suggestions to improve the tagline to better articulate my journey!
Stay tuned — because remember, life never goes according to plan!
How right you are! Life never goes according to plan. And that is why I never plan anything. I just go with the flow. Everyday is different and you never know what you are going to face. With that said, I always have a smile and my face and am ready to tackle whatever is in front of me.
Love this post.
Remember what Bill Wilson used to say? If you want to make God laugh, say you have a plan for your life! Navigate the unexpected and the happiness will be there all along the way.
That Bill Wilson is a very wise man
