Upside Down

Sometimes I feel like my life has been flipped upside down. What I thought I knew, I do not. What I thought I wanted, I may not. What I thought could never happen, has come to pass.

I suppose, that is a continual lesson of life - Your plans only go so far, the rest is left to fate.

So, here I am - in the midst of my life while also waiting for "it" to come about.
What is "it"? I have not a clue apparently. I once thought that it was a certain degree, a particular job, a relationship. Alas, I have had those things and find myself still waiting. Waiting through life is no way to live. I would like to take control; a revamping of my outlook so to speak. "Carpe diem!" However, in the spirit of honesty, I am the type who can only take this saying so far. I do love adventure and living in the moment. Still, there is a part of me that must always have a new goal in order to press on. I have obviously not decided yet what that will be.
I heard once that if you are lost you should re-trace your steps. Thus, here I am - blogging once again.
I seriously doubt that any of my old friends still read this thing, but I am writing all the same and plan to continue for a bit. . . .

What's New: I am living in Alabama. Yes I know....how did this happen? I haven't a clue. Currently I am working as a counselor, but considering a career shift. My graduate degree was really more focused on policy and I would like to head back in that direction. However, as you might imagine, policy jobs are hard to come by in this part of the country. Therefore, I am also toying with the idea of a move.
My question for today is this: Is life truly just one transition stage after another or am I missing all the stability by looking for it?
