Someone asked me why I hide my more recent posts and even pointed out that my last public entry was posted a year ago. Checking the date referred to, I was momentarily astounded when it registered that two weeks will mark the day when I learned to make a huge bucket of lemon juice out of the lemons that life threw my way.
Growing up, I associated the months of July and August with bleak, rainy mornings and cloudy afternoons. For a girl born in sunny and crisp March, nothing great could come out of July and August. Now, they mark the beginning of a new and better juncture in my life. July 31, 2011 has become the beginning of many things for me. Who I am now, what I've become, and where I would be in the coming years were decided by that single, inopportune day in bleak and rainy July.
And I could not be more thankful for it. ;)
