"When I stepped out into the bright sunlight, from the darkness"...SE Hinton
I have learned much in months past including that people are rarely who they seem, that faith in people is outdated by the jaded, that life is too short to worry with those that aren't what they seem and that life goes on.
I've learned that faith will bring me home, love will hold me tight and that above all, family is everything.
The people that truly get me, get me. I don't owe anyone explanations. I never have. I don't owe anyone apologies. Again, I never have.
I've been in touch with people that meant the world to me before my last marriage, people that knew me better than I knew myself, that saw the difference in me then and realize the change in me now.
I am myself. I won't be more than I can be until I am ready. I won't be pushed, forced, coerced, dragged. I owe no one.
I am Mom. Daughter. Sister. Friend. Coworker. Student of life. Music lover. Hippie chick.
Reserved. Cautious as I enter the cool waters of living again.
Second, third, eighth chances are what it takes at times in life. I plan to utilize each of mine, living out every last precious drop of love, laughter, memories, hard work and life that I can. I forgive. I forget. I do over. I screw up. I begin anew.
The things I took for granted;family, friends, faith, laughter, love, memories, life...I can participate fully again.
Sunshine eternal.
