"After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn't mean possession and company doesn't mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build your roads today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much, so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong, and you really do have worth. And you learn . . .and you learn . . ."
Good News, Good News! I got a job offer yesterday. Mom and Dad took me out to celebrate...I had several martinis as usual, this buzz allowed me another chance to make a few questionable choices...But ya know what?!? You only live once...I only have this one life... and I don't want to look back 10-15 years from now and have regrets because I made all the smart, safe choices. Not to say I'm going crazy right now either. I am just having fun...a lot of fun...doing what I want, when I want. It is odd because I thought that I was happy, but I think I am just beginning to realize what true happiness is. I am in LOVE again...This person is smart, funny, attractive, caring, and hopelessly honest. I recently fell in love with myself again, and life is o..kay:) I of course say this with caution, but I shouldn't because that sounds terribly pessimistic and I am not that person anymore. I have faith that God knows what is going on down here in my crazy world and he is pointing me in the right direction...I just have to watch and listen.
I am just not sure if the timing is right with this new interest. I just need to spend more time and see what I feel at the end of the day.
I can say one thing for certain at the end of this day...I am blessed...I am loved by many, I have amazing friends, and a wonderful family. And he is good, all the time:)
