So there's this boy....

that has come into my life and turned it upside down.  I'm not quite ready to tell the whole story at this moment (maybe the four year old inside of me is afraid of the idea of jinxing this greatness), but someday soon our story will make it's way to this blog.  

All I can say is this... that the life lessons of listening to your internal cues of the road that you are meant to take (no matter how imperfect or unwanted that road may seem to you at the time); and surrendering to the journey with nothing more than the self confidence you may posses at that time, have been embraced completely. 

When I think back to the days, almost five years ago now, when I was in the fetal position on the floor, at the feet of my ex husband before he walked out on our marriage, unable to catch my breath because of my broken heart ; and waking up with my eyes unable to open from the broken capillaries that were a result of crying my heart out...I am allowing myself this bliss.  In the end, love wins.

"What did you do with my nail file?!?"

It's 9am on Monday morning and she gets sassy with me about her nail file that I took out of the drawer next to the chair she always sits in to watch t.v.

My response: "You have five others in there." And trust me, I'm not being dramatic...she was literally staring at five other nail files in that drawer! Ugh.

Life lesson for the day: One's mother will always remember the littlest, most insignificant things. Keep mother's close and nail files closer.
