"The moment I let go of it was the moment I got more than I could ever know. The moment I jumped off of it was the moment I touched down." Lyrics from Thank You by Alanis Morresette.
I have spent alot of time in the air in the last two/three weeks, so there has been alot of time for me to think, sort through and digest all that has happened in the last couple months and two years for that matter. WOW! seems to be all I can come up with. Trite and overused, but it is the only word "big" enough to try and convey my feelings on what has transpired in my life since I decided to start jumping! Jumping towards better health, jumping towards confidence in my abilities as a doctor of chiropractic, jumping towards living out my wildest dreams and jumping towards the best version of myself I could possibly be. I had no idea where that would take me!
Two years ago I was in the town I grew up in, practicing with my dad. I was 93 pounds heavier, very insecure and lacking confidence in my abilities as a new chiropractor. Flash forward two years to a much healthier version of me, a more confident version of me and the me that is living in the middle of her craziest dreams. I guess I need to stop calling them "dreams" because it is my reality now. My reality is that I get to live in a wonderful country I want to be adopted into...lol. I also get to travel around this beautiful country and the continent of Europe and who knows where else. I spent the past weekend in London where I went to an amazing seminar and had one of the best nights ever! We got, what I think was the deal of the century, and for 30 pounds a person had our own personal driver take us all around London for four hours...it was amazing and beautiful. London seems pretty magical all llit up at night. I actually got all choked up because I realized that I was doing the things I always thought I could but never knew how to get to do them..and bam! Here I am..doing it! I am filled with so much gratitude everyday for what I get to do as a profession and what I get to do in my life!
Galway continues to be a fantastic town to live in! It is a bigger city with a small town feel and I love that. So many places to eat, drink and be merry! I am starting to feel settled and am looking forward to establishing a social cirlce...you all know me;) It has definetly cooled down here and my patients keep telling me I haven't seen anything yet until I make it through the winter...but I don't think they have experienced a MI winter..lol!
The practice is great! I am truly blessed to be where I am at and who I work with. I love my patients and serving them everyday is a wonderful blessing. Watching people enjoy better health just by letting the body heal itself is pretty amazing. It is a very humbling process to be a part of. The owners have moved back to the states are missed greatly. It is an amazing trust they have put in us and I do believe we are doing them proud!:)
All I can really end this with is the thought I am truly happy. I mean TRULY happy. I have not had so many moments of pure joy and gratitude....it gets overwhelming sometimes. Yes there are challenges and obstacles that I go through and around, but my heart is truly happy and that is worth the risk of any other jump or leap I will be taking. I am so excited to see what the next jump is........
