Right On Time

I have heard that phrase before...."things come right on time" and usually they are directed to pregnant women who are super uncomfortable and tired of pregnancy. Hearing it in referfence to other facets of life wasn't as common but let me tell you when you hear at just "the right time" it hits a bit differently.

In the past few years, I have to say life has felt a bit of upheaval. We have moved and moved again. All in pursuit of better things. Sometimes we found them and sometimes we found all the things we didn't want. 

But truly the phrase "It comes right on time" implores you to trust. Anyone else struggle with trusting that all you dreams, wishes, hard work come to fruition? I am certain is isn't just me but it can feel really lonely in the dark moments where doubt creeps in. When you do all the things "they" tell you to do, in the perfect way, at the perfect time and nothing shows up, the hope and trust erodes just a bit. 

This has been the cycle for me for a few years. I work really hard doing all the right things but feel like there is so little to show for it. Quite honestly, it's why I took so many years off blogging. Who wants to hear how I am trying yet another diet and exercise routine to get myself in shape?! I know I am sick of trying it and really have no desire to write about it while NOT addressing how every other way so far has failed. #keepitpositive #pourmesomewine

Today, I listened to TiffanyPeterson's Gratitude Series.  www.gratitudeseries.com. She started to talk about how some of her big projects have been delayed but she remained in a grateful state knowing that things will come right on time. While admitting that she had to choose being grateful through the disappointment was not easy, it was a choice she knew she needed to make. The more she referred to this, the more it hit me over the head.....get back to being grateful. Gratitude..like exercise is a practice and you have to keep trying.

On top of all the moving, diets, exercise plans and business endeavors that I have been working and waiting, I have lost the gratitude and trust. Being filled with doubt and frustration is never the recipe for a thriving life. That's what I want is a thriving life. 

So her message to me was "right on time" to help me review, reconnect and revive some of the things that make me happy even if they don't always produce spectacular results. Maybe they just make me a better me and that's enough. #keepontrying because life shows you the results "Right On Time!"
