Changing leaves, changing lives
It's that time of year again. Change comes as rapidly as the leaves fall. This year it seems to be affecting those around me that I hold most dear.
- My best friend is getting married and moving to New Jersey. I'm so excited for her and plan to keep up with her weekly, but she will be missed. I'm adjusting to the idea and I know everything will turn out how it should. :)
- My good friend is going through a world of chaos. I love being here for her. Although I worry sometimes, I do believe she is handling things brilliantly. Keep it up!
In my life, change has been a gradual process.
- Eli is a little over a year now. I love him so much and am impressed daily!
- Hugh and I are still getting a divorce, though it is taking longer than originally planned. We're getting along for the most part. The parenting thing is going well. I miss him sometimes, but I would no sooner go back than cut off my right arm. Going back would be losing a vital part of myself. I wish him well.
- I have fallen in love with a boy from my past. Noah and I went to school together and have always been friendly. We've been together now for about 3 months. I didn't mean to move on so quickly and was terrified of a rebound. I am confident now that he is much more than a rebound and I truly love him. In all of this, I've been more of myself. I don't feel that I really need to impress him. Being me is good enough and I'm thankful for that. He treats me better than anyone in my past, cares for Eli, makes me laugh, has similar interests, knows how to handle my moods, makes me feel good about being just myself and loves me for it. My family even likes him! Who knew that the boy I had a crush on in Chemistry class would become more than a schoolgirl fantasy? I keep wondering how I got so incredibly lucky. :)
That's all for now.
