I can see it. It's just past my fingertips, right where it's been for the last two years. I can see it, but I can't reach it.
My yoga teacher says that I've completely missed it. I've focused so much on expressing positive energy and willing the universe to provide for me that I have not been allowing it to happen.
So, this is me, making it public. I am not the one in control! Do you hear me universe? I am not in control! I'm here, floating in the shimmering pool, allowing the waves of peace, zen, and energy to wash over me.
Then, where's the balance? How do I find that happy medium between being happy and hopeful, but not forcing the issue?

I Love Summer!
Late Spring/Early Summer is my favorite time of the year.
I love being warm, wearing sandals and tank tops, and being able to run around without a jacket. I have never understood the draw of running around in snow, having to be bundled up in a huge jacket and scarf, and taking the chance my skin will freeze solid and fall off.

Catch Up Part 1 - Dallas, TX - Hotel Drama
My husband and I went to Dallas for our Anniversary. I love Dallas, but it is definitely a whole different animal than Wichita.
First, we get to the Oklahoma/Texas boarder, and it starts to snow. And I mean SNOW. The girl at the counter in the convenience store says that she has never seen snow like this. We continue on our trek, and it is still snowing.
People in Texas are mesmerized by this magical white blanket. They don't change their driving, so there is wreck after wreck. It takes us two hours to go 30 miles. Finally, we get to our hotel. This is an exciting hotel, completely contemporary, with exposed brick walls and concrete floors. Well, they are having their Grand Opening party the night we get there. There is a Valet, and we are told that if we're not there for the party, then we need to park ourselves. Usually, this would not be a big deal, but remember the snow? There is now six inches of it. We are from out of town, we have luggage, and now we have to park our own car when there is a Valet right there? Thanks.
We check in, they give us the wrong room, and we have to wait for a new key. I'm getting more and more pissed by the minute. There is a mall right around the corner with a couple of great restaurants. We decide to head over for dinner. It is deserted. At 6:00pm on a Thursday night. Remember the snow? They can't handle it, so the mall is closed early. Luckily, The Cheesecake Factory is still open. We have a very pleasant dinner, head back to our hotel, park a block away, and walk back through the snow. Thank goodness, the party is over at 11 and the parking lot opens up. My wonderful husband walks the block and parks our car in the lot of the hotel.
This is the end of our hotel drama, the next three days are really awesome, and I will gladly stay at this hotel again.
