So much has happened in a year. Bought a beautiful home, and am finally starting to feel "settled" again. The townhouse was so beautiful and the setting was spectacular, hearing my neighbor's TV through my bedroom wall was not. Had my first wedding anniversary...man this year has flown by! I hope they slow down a bit, I enjoy every moment with Man and don't want it all to pass too quickly. Attachment, the root of all suffering, yep. I'm attached!
Monkey started kindergarten. Hard to believe! He's 5 going on 20, knows everything about everything, and when he doesn't he makes it up. Yep, he's going to be a salesman! He is currently obsessed with "Angry Birds", and wants them painted in his room on the walls. He has the stuffed birds, plays the game on my phone and Man's computer every chance he gets, has me make his hair stick up like angry bird hair in the morning... He loves playing with his cousin Tony...those two are going to be hell on wheels! A couple of handsome boys...lock up your daughters! He loves going out to Gammie and Pa's, and has become quite the block building afficionado :-)
Pearl is old. Just old. She's slow, selectively deaf, kinda blind, and can't really go up and down stairs. It's sad, but she's still happy for the most part. Boy loves her and she loves her boy.
Mickey is preggers, and I can't wait to meet Custom Moonshine! I'm excited and hopeful about getting back in the show pen... it's been 4 years now, almost 5, and I've missed it terribly! Life has been a whirlwind of change, but it's been for the better and I'm coming out the other side much stronger for it.
So to that end...I have to thank him (you know who....). While the entire experience is not one I'd recommend or choose, sometimes it takes being torn down to one's very foundation in order to rebuild. Life polishes us like a fine gemstone, molds us like clay if you will. If you're too stiff it just breaks you. If you're too flexible and mushy, well then it's awfully hard to hold any shape. I am in a very transitional period in my life right now, I'm finding out who I really am and who I want to be. New doors are opening to me every day, and the learning process has just been fascinating! I'm excited to see what comes next, be it good or bad. And at the end of the day, I have to thank those in my life who have provided me with such powerful learning opportunities. It has been painful to the very core of my being, but it needed to be. Some of the most beautiful flowers bloom only after the forest fire has ravaged the land. I was too stuck in the rut of stagnation and unhappiness before, so deep I couldn't see out at all. It's a bit strange to think about where I was, and to look around now. Man have things changed! For those of you still in my life, thank you. I love ya'll!
So next time, perhaps we'll talk about food, lifestyle, yoga, I don't know. I'm just going to keep on rambling and see where it goes :-)
