Alive and Well

I've been absent for awhile, and don't really have any reason to offer for that. I've found that it's best to go with the ebb and flow of life, and just enjoy each moment without beating myself up for doing or not doing something else. I'm pretty sure Elle has talked in the past about being where my feet are. If it wasn't Elle, it was someone else just as wise and amazing.

Life is good. W/we continue to make plans for O/our wedding, each little decision and step along the way feels good and right. Certain things were very clear to U/us and others needed to be pondered. No problem concluding that a very small, intimate, and casually comfortable affair was best for U/us. A suitable venue was found, a date agreed upon, and things began to happen more quickly after that. I confess to being surprised at the many things to do and details to sort out, even when intentionally having a very small, quiet, intimate, and casual event!

And of course while all this is taking our time and attention, life still goes on. I had foot surgery in January (recovered wonderfully from.) There is work everyday, the commute back and forth, the household chores and needs and responsibilities, and family and friends. Son has been working, and making plans to enroll in and attend college. He's hoping the test scores will be good enough, and then of course there is the financing to work out.
He continues to drive back and forth to a neighboring state to visit his girlfriend, and they've managed to work out a couple of times when he could bring her here to visit for awhile. I LOVE having her here, and really enjoy a "daughter" as well as his joy in her. They've got prom and her graduation coming up before long.

O/our lives have settled in so many ways, and perhaps that is part of why I don't spend the time here that I once did. The questions and angst and drama and sorting through of life are not at the forefront at the moment. Life is just good.

I hope that the same can be said for all of you.

  2. I am so glad to see you! I absolutely understand, and even applaud the sort of self care that takes one away from this milieu when "real" life looms large, but it would be good for you to know that your voice is missed when you are not here. Welcome back!

    hugs, swan

  4. Wow - I don't think I really did realize that it mattered to anyone other than me if I was here or not. You have no idea the way my heart leapt in my chest to read your words. Thank you so much for that!

    Not that any of you were ever forgotten from my mind or heart in the months since I last posted, but sadly I have been remiss in letting you know that.

    You are all so special to me, and I will try to catch up with you. Thank you for the acceptance and friendship and love.

  6. Good we are pleased. Some deserve and don't get, some don't deserve and get, so it is nice to see someone deserving of happiness attain that.
