Monday, July 31, 2006

So I went out on Saturday night. This wouldn't be such a big deal except for the fact that it was a SATURDAY! I was out without Dave... or the kids. No one needed a sandwich. No one needed their clothes dropped at the dry cleaners. No one needed anything from me. No one needed anything from me but me.

I relaxed. No REALLY relaxed. For the first time in a very LONG time, my mind and body connected and I, from the top of my head to the tip of my toes, relaxed.

I believe that I am finally following the path that I am supposed to be on in life. Possibly, just possibly, not fighting with the powers of the Universe anymore will lead me to peace of mind.

Maybe one day the world will turn in my favor and I will be able to spend many, many more beautiful hours relaxing....on my yacht, or my private beach, or my condo in the city, or my private lake house... or wherever.
