When You Care Enough to Send the Very Best

Yesterday when I bought myself the present, I embarrassingly bought myself a card to go with it.  Because I think all gifts should be accompanied by a card.  Otherwise how will you know who the gift is from? 

I hoped the cashier assumed that the card was to accompany another gift I was buying.  But really it was for me because I liked the quote on it:

This quote is So. Me. Right. Now.  I've actually kind of had recent thoughts along these very lines, though not stated quite so eloquently.  Thoughts like, the steps you take that scare you the most are the ones that are going to do you the most good. 

I have a life right now that is mostly easy and comfortable.  And it's even easier and more comfortable to just remain stagnant and keep the status quo. 

Except, this particular status quo is not what I really need.  I can feel it.  If I keep the status quo it will eventually hurt me.  I can't remain tight in a bud.  I have to bloom. 

In conclusion, let me note that the issues I'm vaguely alluding to here are of a professional nature.  I wanted to keep it vague so it would have a more universal appeal, but I also don't want everyone assuming I have plans to, like, up and leave my whole family and move to Paris or something. 

And so, here on the precipice of the dark, barren winter, I pledge to bloom.
