I spent two of the past three years falling and and then actively being in love. I found myself wrapped with it's warmth and thrilled by the euphoria that resides in that fascinating state.This year I've been sinking out of love of that love. The warmth and euphoria ebbing bit by bit every one of these 300 plus days.
Some of the 300 days have been incredibly cold and low. Some, however have been somewhat closer to fine.
It has been an experience I'd just soon not repeat, but one I suppose I needed to have. Into each life a little love must fall? I don't know, what I do know is that I'm ready to put this year behind me. The sinking out of love, the trials experienced by my son, daughter, and mother have well worn me.
Before kicking the dust of 2009 off my heals, I be going on a trip. A small sojourn to the land of Texas. Houston to be more precise. I am being welcomed to eat, drink (wine, more than likely) and be merry by and with some lovely ladies.
To paraphrase the ladies Pointer, I'm so excited, it has been hard to hide it, I'm about to lose control and I've given up fighting it. After one more work day and the office holiday party, I'm out. For all intents and purposes, I am already. Focus. Hard.
I'll be back before Christmas, and here to put the rest of 2009 to bed and to get a leg up on 2010.
I'm so excited!!
Yay for renewal - have a great trip!
ReplyDeleteAh but we also have margaritas and will be more than glad to indulge you in some martini mixing. But yes, wine is always there to be had.
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea how happy we were when you said you were coming down here. It was like we won the big showcase on the Price is Right. Although, I kinda won't believe it until I pick you up at THAT airport.
Can't wait....xo
And what lovely company you chose to visit. You are going to have a blast. SO jealous.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!!
