Have we arrived? Did you even check?
How will I know, if we’ve gotten there yet?
All through the journey, the pace is steadfast.
Hustling, bustling, to get there at last.
Where are we rushing? What is the end?
Why keep striving, go ‘round the next bend?
You have to get somewhere, to something, to IT!
That’s where you’re heading and why you submit.
Muddle through the mundane, head down; tenacious.
All the while the trip is vexatious.
Daily grind, never mind, so much to do.
Always anticipate the end of the queue.
One day you pause, to take a quick wheeze;
not even sure why you’re down on your knees.
All of a sudden your eyes open wide,
your breathing is calming and you look inside.
Week after month after struggles grew thin,
turns out that IT has been found deep within.
We always push forward, with ne’er inward glance,
waking and breaking in hypnotic trance.
Desperately seeking what already lurks,
grinning and laughing our heart sits and smirks.
“Here I am! Glad you found me! And yes I’ve been here”.
Making you shout out in happiness cheer.
This is the something, the somewhere, your IT;
epiphany finds you and shakes you a bit.
Straighten your pose and slacken the pace;
look all those others direct in the face.
Question the journey and take time to ask
though others might think it an arduous task.
Happiness found; is what you will get.
When finally you ask yourself: “Are we there yet?”

When finally you ask yourself: “Are we there yet?”
I've been very introspective the last week or so with New Years and lots of other things.
Something that I finally realized in my own saying-it-out-loud way just a day or so ago: I am happy. Finally, fully, really and truly happy with my life.
That isn't to say there aren't those nagging little things that make life adventursome (lingering real estate deals that just won't END, fear about going back for my masters' degree, daily worries, money and all that jazz) to worry about. But more that despite them, even WITH them, I am in love with my life right now. I feel powerful. Like on the inside I have this giant smile and every-time that I acknowledge its presence it grins even wider inside of me; sort of like "Here I am! Glad you found me! I'm still here too!"
Its both overwhelming and humbling. We spend so much of our lifes muddling through the mundane to get to ..."SOMETHING" without very often stopping to take an internal check and see if we've actually finally ARRIVED at our something!
Still feels a bit ethereal too...like some fragile state of mind that some small thing might shatter; so that I'm afraid to cling too tight and hug this happiness to me...but also afraid to not acknowledge its existance? Not sure if I'm even making sense at all at this point. Just...wow.
"Are we there yet? Are we there yet?????!?!?!"
Yes. I am
***And that above comment by me was what inspired me to formulate this little thing. Hope it at least makes you smile!
