Life's journey

Where does the time go?

Seriously it's like you blink and years have passed by.

And I hear it only gets worse when you have kids.

I've never had a plan for myself after I was married.

Growing up it was to graduate high school, go to college,

find a man and marry that man.

Sometimes I wish there was a new detailed plan for me to follow,

and other times I like going through the motions and figuring it all out.

Except at moments I want to scream with not knowing what's next.

For now I really couldn't be happier at with where I am.

I have the best companion I could ask for.

He's what I dreamed and envisioned all my life, and he's mine.

I have a job where I have learned more about mothering and patience

and more than I ever wanted to learn about in a short two years.

I let the little things make me happy; like Pinkberry now having peppermint ice cream,

or beating my brother in a Words with Friends game.

Chatting with friends instead doing what you're supposed to be doing.

Or even laughing off the awful run today that included a bug flying into my mouth.

Life is so beautiful and hard and challenging but it's so worth it.
