But most of all, I have been trying not to judge the fact that no one lives with me, no one makes a home with me, no one makes love to me, and I have given birth to no one. I have so few connections to this planet it's a wonder I don't just float off of it. The feelings I'm used to tell me it's because there is something intrinsically wrong with me. I am told that this is untrue. I am holding onto this bit of information in my head, and hoping that sooner than I expect, it will come to reside in my heart.
I've just had the biggest 'me too' moment I've had in a long time. It's such slow going, this coming to know and accept yourself as you are. It's so difficult to let go of the false notions of us created and held by ourselves and others, and allow ourselves to come into our own truth. It takes such courage to begin. May the road rise with you. Happy New Year.

I think that's why this trip I'm on right now has been such a godsend. When I'm travelling I'm using all five senses, I am constantly reminded there are very different and effective approaches to life, and I am forced to live in the moment. Most importantly, I have to loosen up because almost everything is a leap of faith, as there is a limit to how much can be planned

To cite Gershwin, darling, when you "get" it, won't you tell me how?
In the meantime, many virtual Godiva-laden smooches to you.

:) You wouldn't know it from the tone of that post, but I have been fomulating my very own theory of late: 'You're never the only one.'
I'm glad to hear someone feels the same, and am sorry someone feels the same. :) Thank you for your lovely words, and may the road rise to us both.

Happiness, happiness,
S'hard to come by, I confess
I'm bad at this thing, happiness
If you find it, share it,
With the rest of us
Being an alternative music-raised brat, I quote Grant Lee Buffalo.
I'll share anything I happen to learn, and Godiva right back atcha, hon. :)
