The Opportunity That Awaits...

Forward looking. This is one of the most concise ways to describe my overall temperment.

Right now, at this point in my life, I recognize that I am standing just before "my future." Metaphorically, I am waiting at the edge of a train platform. Perhaps, at the station in Mersailles, waiting to get a connecting train to go to Nice, to the warm sun, and captivating colors of the Mediterranean Sea along the French Riviera. I am waiting at the station, have been in travel for the previous 10 hours already, but can see the blurry shape of the train in the distance. There is a slight breeze in the air, I am standing there. Waiting. Anticipating. But the whole time knowing, that I am exactly where I need to be to get on the train.

Or most straightforwardly, my future is planned, but not set. Every choice I make affects everything. This is possibly, one of the most exciting times in my life.
