Day 50: Back...for a bit!

How does one get the life of playing eternally on the beach? If there is a better way to spend a few summer days, I have yet to discover it.

I meant to return to blogging yesterday, but there was a party set to start only an hour after we got home - so it was a hectic return!

Trips always have a big impact on me; even our quick overnight stays. Getting away from habits and routines is my drug of choice. I'd be lying if I said I was a gracious returning home type. I usually hate it. Not the home part, I love my place. And not the New York part, I still love this city...well most of the time.

It's that brief escape. The glimpse of the possible beyond my daily parameters. I crave that. Eternally it seems.

So, this day, this risk is different. It's not just a specific task to challenge myself to. Though there were plenty at the beach, I need a new kind of risk...

SO TODAY'S RISK: Think Bigger.

Yeah. It's general and vague, and seems wishy-washy no doubt. But it's not for me. Even within the risks I was taking, there was something a tad safe about them. But here's the thing: you want a big change? Make big changes. Think big.

Nick (also known as Wonderfully Supportive Boyfriend) has relayed one of his favorite quotes to me on numerous occasions:

You can't cross a chasm in two steps.

It's a good one. I think about it a lot. I want that leap. Right now, I just have to figure what it is.

Changing your mind is a necessity to changing your circumstances.
