Unexpected Gifts….
I guess that I am starting to learn that life seems to throw you curve balls when you least expect it to. For so long I have been just going through the motions of life and approaching each new day the same as the last, looking for nothing and expecting things to just continue to stay the same. I guess I started to think that my life was meant to be that way and that life as a single mom of two was going to be a sort of life sentence to just the same old thing over and over again. BOY WAS I WRONG!!!!
In walks someone special. Someone who I never in my wildest dreams thought would be a part of my life as anything more than just a casual acquaintance or at most a friend. I am still a little awe struck and perplexed as to how it all happened and the more I think about it the more it makes me smile because for some odd reason it feels so right. It is not necessarily scary but real… So real it is almost scary, but in a good way. I am not sure if that even makes sense, but I have no other way to find words for it. I am starting to often find myself speechless and many times smiling at nothing but the thoughts that I have; something that I am not used to and had not prepared myself for. But, it is absolutely wonderful and I feel so blessed to have it.
So, here I am rambling on about nothing really explainable, but in all reality it is SOMETHING and it means more than I ever thought that it would. I am starting to find myself lost in the simple place I like to call my mind…thinking about my life and how great it has all of a sudden gotten. I am not sure how someone like this can be real. There are times when I like to just tell myself that I am imagining things, but I KNOW that I am not. In fact, I am about to embark on the journey of a lifetime…something that I NEVER thought I would get the opportunity to do and now I am taking it and running with it. In addition to the choice that I previously made to make my life better, I am now getting the opportunity to make ME better in the process by letting go of what I thought life would be and taking the hand of another and trusting them with my whole heart while I let them run with it. WOW….so much for just the same old crap every day…..This is way better than I could have ever asked for….
