Number 8
Sonja and I were able to go to the grief center today; her after school reading program was cancelled. I guess the snow scared everyone away, which was nice for a change. It was just me and another woman who lost her husband this past September. We actually got a word in edgewise. I let her talk since this is so new for her. She seems really nice. I hope to chat with her again once Sonja and I are regulars again.
As I was leaving I passed a couple while waiting at a light. I guess they were in HS, or not far past that age. They were locked arm in arm until the guy bent down and hit his girlfriend with a snowball. They release from arm in arm and begin the cutest snowball fight ever. I couldn't help myself from smiling at them as they smiled at each other. I was happy to see young love, arm in arm and snowball fights. So, that is my #8. Seeing that specific couple enjoying a moment of laughter.
I like to think that Sid is all around me, showing me things that I might not see because of how difficult and muddy I can make them. I think seeing that couple was a sign from Sid letting me know that love and happiness doesn't have to be as complicated as I make it out to be....sometimes it just is. I am actually going through my own love battle and I may reveal more of it here once I am ready. As much as Sid is saying love is here I just wish it wasn't causing a battle between my heart and my head....maybe it's not that simple for me.
