...we (meaning Lauren and I) are settling into our new life minus half of us. I see now how all the Mothers do it. They just do, because they have to. And I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't sure I could do it without feeling sad every second of the day. To my surprise, I am holding up quite well thanks to my telephone and emails back and forth. Thankfully, due to our strong will to survive and prosper in this life, there is something inside us that keeps prodding us to move along with our lives and find things to fill the empty spaces that are vacated by those who must leave us. Of course, I use the term "leave us" in a totally respective manner... leaving does not always denote a lack of love... on the contrary, it sometimes encourages us to love even more because absence does make the heart grow fonder. It is rather nice to think of it as having the freedom to live our own life and being able to do so without feeling trapped or guilty about it. I so hate that feeling, so I wouldn't want to impose that feeling on anyone else. There is something to be said for freedom and the ability to make choices that are based on our own personal wants and needs.
So, a random thought...now that my obsession with Dancing With the Stars has ended for this season and my "choice" did not win, Lance and Lacey if you must know (because of their originality), I suppose I will now focus my attention on something a little more pertinant and important... like knitting...nah, just kidding.
On that note, I shall hit the hay, and as they say in the South...
goodnight and sweet dreams
