Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever
Keri Russell (of Felicity fame I'm thinkin')
If I seem a little quiet it's because I'm still trying to find my bearings in this brand new and completely different life I'm suddenly living. It's all good - I know and feel that with all of my heart but it's like I've been picked up, held upside down and M. Universe is shaking me or I'm endlessly at the fair on a giant ferris wheel in a madly swinging cart that's stuck at the very top. I'm not going to tell you exactly how many years I had been a single person, but years they do go by. A single person, living a quasi contented life in an old brick house filled with love and animals and always with a big stack of dreams and hopes. But this ... this big cowboy love, it's a love and a life I could never have dreamed. I could never have possibly hoped for because it is bigger, wider, deeper, crazier than anything I could have ever conjured up. It's overwhelming much of the time.
What happened to my other life, where did it go ? So many chapters of that life I'm more than happy to say so long to See ya later Sad & Ache ! and a big ol' Bonjour Safe & Loved ... but other chapters I'm desperately trying to get back. Things are settling a tiny bit and I do have complete confidence that we'll sort this out and that I will feel, once again, like I'm walking on solid ground but I'm thinking it may be awhile yet. In the meantime I'm trying to be kind to myself.
You will find your balance. Enjoy this time and let it happen. It sounds a bit overwhelming, it's a big change. I'm no expert on you, of course, but it sounds like changes rattle you the way they rattle me. These sound like good changes, though.
ReplyDeleteA little motion sick are we? Need a big ole dose of cosmic Dramamine? Concentrate on your focus points, the things that when your world is spinning, you spot and concentrate on. You know what they are. Soon enough what is new will settle into familiar and comfortable. Until then, enjoy the ride.
ReplyDeleteYeehaw!

ReplyDeleteIs this about finding time for creativity? About trying to work out how to find that space in your head to think through ideas, and planning your days with someone else so you that YOU have time to yourself? About feeling that your creative self is in danger of drowning?
ReplyDeleteThis is something you HAVE to keep hold of!
(Been there, failed to give priority = regrets.)
Such a beautiful picture to go along with these feelings of some things settling while others still feel very much in the air. Time will tell, I suppose. In the meanwhile enjoy all that is being given to you for however long you have--hopefully that is very long indeed
