On The Search ... The Sweet Life

Worrying non stop about my first love the one you no longer read much about since he left the nest.
I knew motherhood came with worry, heartache and guilt but its the lack of control that drives us mothers crazy. To be able to place imaginary wings as they fall down... to be able to slow them down when they need to go slow. To spare them from all and any pain. If you have previously read these pages you know what comes next...

So I left the coop on the search for peace and meaning to it all...

On the earth...

On every living thing...

When I feel blue I bring my partner in crime along on my adventures because she makes me laugh and she is wise and really gets me. So she dances through the marsh and we catch the sunset. We celebrate each sunset to me is filled with hope that there will be a new tomorrow.  Another chance to make things right.

Yesterday I did not make the bed or put any make up on or even cared if the clothes were a right match but my eyes were focused. I could see and feel it all and when I came home I was relieved and relaxed. I felt as if I have sat in a confessional and rid myself of each sin.

Feeling cleansed and renewed I am ready for the weekend.

  3. I feel more relaxed, too, just looking at the photos. One thing I've learned about children, no matter their age, is that you develop new relationships that are just as sweet and enjoyable. My son is funnier than ever and while I miss a lot about having him home, I enjoy my time with Alpha Hubby a lot more!! LOVE your pix.

  4. It is wonderful when nature can bring us back to center. It is hard believing that your children are safe and happy when they have left the nest but I know too that letting them go will bring a whole new change to your life and open your eyes to new adventures.

  7. I found relief in your post this morning. I woke up in state of flux. I am shopping my first novel and every time an agent writes me asking me for pages it turns me inside out. The music and the images calmed the pounding in my head. Thanks for the mini mental break.

    I soooooooo love that sentence. It is happy and sad to me @ the same time...cuz the only person who "REALLY" got me was my sister, Kay.

    nobody ever understood me like that...

    Love love Love. Xx

  10. You brought tears to my eyes, Adri. For someone who's a bit of a control freak, motherhood has been my precipice each and every day.

    Love, love, love the photos ... y el cangrejito. Besos. <3
