So, I just re-read my last post and was very surprised and proud of myself for actually sticking to the things on my list. I can honestly say that I have been enjoying life more in the last few months than I have in a long time. I've been journaling more, reading more, and just plain living more. I've been feeling and laughing and taking a moment to breathe more.
This change in my life was something i needed. it's like i needed to snap out of the "daily routines" of life and start appreciating it all. Soaking in moments instead of letting them slip through my fingers. My life certainly isn't perfect, but i can appreciate the imperfections. I can laugh when i'm clumsy or find the beauty in my deep emotions.
The hardest lesson I have had to learn about life as a grown up is... the realization that life and marriage aren't easy. It is hard work to stay connected. It is easy to let life pass you by and to let time slip through your fingers. I want to LIVE. I want to feel everything in life, the good and the bad. I want to celebrate and mourn and dance and cry because I believe that emotions are what make us feel alive.
love.love.love.
