ruffle…
Oh how time flies! I swear to you I’ve wanted to post so many times and just haven’t. OK so a summation.
Life is carrying along at a pleasant pace at the moment. I’m etching plates, I’m paying bills, I’m watching movies, I’m going to the pool in the later evenings to get some physical activity.
I’m 35. I FEEL 35 and I LIKE 35. I like the unspoken acceptance of my age and my season. I feel so much more free to be the me that I’ve always secretly wanted to be. I’m making an effort unlike I’ve ever made for saving my money, getting my bills managed and considering my future.
I have some crap going on of course, life wouldn’t be life without it. My grandmother is old. She’s dying and the day will come sooner than later. My mother toled me to begin preparing. That means 2 trips back home. My best friend’s daughter is struggling and is in hospital for suicidal and drinking issues. I cry at the thought. Probably because at 16 I WAS that girl. Its more painful and emotional now for me than it was when I was younger. I had no grasp of what my actions would cause.
And I am optimistic. I am hopeful. I am thoughtful. I am real. I am OK.
