Challenge 197: Let's go eat

Wow...I have so many emotions right now. I am sitting in my office. The west facing window has a sliver on sun shining through so it shines on my calendar sitting right next to where I am typing. I am in such a reflective mood, looking back through my certification program, back through this year, back since my move from LA. I feel like a different person. I feel like my life is so rich in such a different way.

Outside, a little birdie is chirping, as if saying "pay attention to me!" The chirp is in evenly spaced intervals. What's the message? I wonder. My attention is focused on it. What it is showing is the contrast of the quiet of the house, to the noises of the outside world.

I just finished my very last certification call. Ever. That chapter is over. Completed. And I feel really proud. And accomplished. And sad. The chirping is gone and I'm now hearing the rustle of the leaves on the avocado tree outside my east facing window. Just paying attention to the day. I feel a bit choked up after the call. I love the learning. I love the coaching community. I love the structure and the reading and the homework. And I want more. But I'm really trying to enjoy this moment. Be proud of how far I've come and celebrate what I've just accomplished.

Jumping ahead is easy for me. I've already been researching my next steps and might make a commitment to something new, today. But for this moment, right now, I want to hear the birds, and the trees, and be proud of myself. I did it. And that's feel amazing. Let's go eat.
