Happy Friday! Y’all that is one of my favorite things to say!
Anyways, today I’m going to keep it fairly short and a
little bit personal. It’s not so much a how-to, but more of a reminder.
Today my reminder is – everything will work out in the right
timing for you. I know, cue the eye-roll. That is the most overused and
annoying phrase out there. But, be patient because your time is coming and
It’ll be better than you expected.
I started knocking on doors somewhere between a year and
half and two years ago. I would knock and knock, someone would open and I’d see
a teaser and then they’d slam right in my face. I would smile and put on my
“it’s fine” face and say something along the lines of “it’s okay, this (fill in
the blank of what I was looking for) clearly wasn’t right for me/us and
something better is out there for me/us.” But on the inside – I was mad. I
threw around the word “unfair” a lot. And sometimes I pouted like a three year
old. Every now and then I would see why a door closed and I would be thankful,
but there weren’t enough of the moments to be okay with all of the closed
doors. I fell into a pretty unhappy rut. 2016 was supposed to be the best year
– and you know what it kinda sucked.
Back in mid-October I was done. I was ready for January 1st
so I could have a clean start. “Okay, 2016 was clearly not my year, but 2017
will totally rock!” I was saying the words but didn’t quite feel them. And then
it happened. A door for almost everything I had been wanting opened. Like
within a couple weeks of each other. It all happened so fast, I thought it was
a dream. My husband found a new job that he loves, we’re moving into a house
next week, we were able to go the beach for Thanksgiving and have another small
getaway planned for New Years and I’ve got a couple more things in the
works. Suddenly, 2016 decided to end on a good note. I personally
felt like I did a complete 180 returning to my old happy self and I couldn’t be
more thrilled (I was annoying myself. So to my loved ones out there – thanks
for putting up with me!!). I’ve still got a few doors I’m knocking on but
after having these past few open so perfectly, it helped remind me that they’ll
open when it is right.
So to everyone out there struggling with closed doors – I
feel you! Enjoy this holiday season and put your worries aside. Be patient the
best you can (trust me I’m not a patient person and that is the hardest
part!!), your open door is coming I PROMISE!
