Where Was I?

It seems like a year has been taken from my life. The elec­tion cycle is finally over. Now I ask myself: “Where was I before all of this started?” That is a ques­tion I have often had to answer. My life has been a series of inter­rup­tions. Some of those inva­sions of my time were stints in col­lege. Some of those time frames were mis­er­able jobs. Either way, I have awaken every so often to find myself back on the track of what I was doing before I got dis­tracted.
Get­ting back on track is an art. It starts with find­ing the men­tal book­mark and the feel­ings that accom­pa­nied some grand chap­ter in my life. My first response is in won­der­ing why I let myself get so dis­tracted. My sec­ond response is in recon­nect­ing with the bet­ter story. My life has often been inter­rupted by health issues as well. It is always good to get back in the pro­fes­sional sad­dle and pick up where I left off.
Where was I? Oh yes, I was in the midst of learn­ing how to live in the moment. I was plan­ning some brief trips and look­ing for some really great movies and nov­els. I was also in the mid­dle of get­ting some fur­ni­ture for my home and spend­ing more time meet­ing new peo­ple. I was also in the mid­dle of find­ing some avenues to pos­i­tive per­sonal change.
I often won­der why or how I let myself get so dis­tracted into such shal­low pur­suits. Am I a spir­i­tual Atten­tion Deficit Syn­drome per­son?
Prob­a­bly.
Repen­tance — time to get back on track. It seems like I was orga­niz­ing some things and focus­ing on the good of myself and oth­ers. Let me see where I left my spir­i­tual tools. It is time to get back to my life.
