I have had to take some to to re-think and re-evaluate what I want in life. It's funny how, sometimes, circumstances force you to re-think. I am glad to have the opportunity to do this right now and take some much needed time for myself. Sometimes we can get so busy with things in life, that we don't take time for the things that really matter.
My oldest daughter became engaged on New Year's Eve, so a wedding for the summer of 2013 is in the planning stages. It's going to be a "hippy" style wedding - an era my daughter and her partner are totally in love with and think is so romantic and inspiring. I guess the stories of that era are inspiring to those who have come after. We were the original health conscious, save the earth, etc. group. Then, again, were we? Perhaps we need to look at others in history who also blazed the way.
I was listening to an old Carpenter's song on youtube last night and I realized that, despite a lot of my negativity and sadness over the years, that this line from a song means so much to me. "I believe in happy endings, though I've only known a few." I wonder, though, if those happy endings were really happy beginnings.
