On A Saturday Morning

As I sit here comfy in my bed next to my little Miss K I can't imagine a better way to start out my weekend. She reminds me if how innocent she is, how she doesn't care about anything in the world other than sharing her cinnamon toast crunch with our Boston Terrier.

This is our weekend tradition - dry cereal, cartoons, and snuggles.

Getting divorced has brought perspective to certain things. Things almost seem more difficult now than when we were a family of three.  I could just deal with the issues and take care of K. But when other obstacles come in the way,  there really isn't another choice.

There are so many days that I'm lonely and miss having a partner to help me out. I miss having true adult conversations and not just about daycare or what Christmas gifts K needs.

I truly get that life is complicated but it's only ad complicated as you allow it.  I may not truly believe that you have complete control over your destiny,  but you do have control over some of your happiness.

I have this fantastic chalk board with a barnwood frame in my kitchen.  I make it a goal to write a new quote or inspiring words each day. It's something small but lifts my spirits to acknowledge that life will get better eventually.... It just takes time. So, my quote,  "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens ME."

Stay strong and enjoy the view!

Queens Don't

I feel like I have a heavy heart going into this next week of distant learning. Everything seems to come crashing down the moment I get all the plates spinning in the right direction and at the right pace. In an instant life can change. A person can call and change the entire night based on what was said. Co-parenting is really hard some times. I think the move back has helped, but I'm back in the position of where A wants to know all of my personal stuff. While I appreciate his feedback, it truly isn't his business. After being out of a relationship for almost a year, I'm ready to date again. It's not like I have people lining up outside my door asking me for my number. People are meeting online these days. I'm open, but seriously, the whole trusting part is getting the best of me. I had someone ask me if I would be happy if I never found someone  to live the rest of my life with. While that question caught me off guard, I didn't hesitate to answer; of ...

God only gives you what you can handle

Where do I begin. This summer has been the best of any summer I can remember, besides the summer going into my senior year at Concordia. That was an epic summer I'll never forget. But this summer, was one for the books, in so many ways. For one, this was the first time I have had a break from school in 365 days. I took every opportunity and enjoyed my days off, not online submitting papers or reading a text book. Summer school ended at the end of June, and I pulled off 2 B's and an A.  I've always said that you meet people in your life for a reason, and I truly believe that. Over the last year I have met countless people. At different times I have questioned their motivation, but I also have embraced the opportunity to find out what their purpose is to me. Whether people stay in your life or leave, there is always a lesson learned. And then, there are those moments when you meet people and you know right away, that they will have an impact on your life, and in a goo...

Trust

Where do I even begin? I started this year off wanting to not live in the past and only live in the moment, do things for myself, and truly make this year about me and what I want. I've come to the point though where I feel I need to really break down some walls and talk about trust. I've been divorced for two years in July. I have yet to have a "real" relationship since that time. I tend to keep people at an arms length, likely because of my lack of faith and trust in people in general. I had a heart to heart with a dear friend of mine last week where I broke down into tears. You see, she and I have been friends since my divorce and she has been there for me through pretty much everything. She said I had been "off" lately and I wanted to know what she meant by that. She said she couldn't say what it was exactly, but I just didn't seem like myself. I always have a lot going on in my head, and this past month hasn't been any different. I came ...
