as i was walking to my car this morning on my way to work, i realized i had a huge smile on my face. what i felt was purely joy. and it got me to thinking. my life these last few years has had many ups and downs, this past year has been incredible, though bittersweet. i recently remarried and my hubby brings so much love, respect, joy and emotional support into my life that i am ecstatic. this in counterpoint to not having seen my children in far too long due to financial issues for myself and their father. the main point of my thought process though was in the contrast between who i am now and in this relationship vs. who i was in the past when i was married to my children's father. i wondered to myself if my Morsel would have been attracted to the past me... physically, intellectually, emotionally. i am often surprised at the direction my life has taken, as sometimes it seems as though the things i aim for fall to the side and things i never knew i wanted plop themselves into my lap and talk to me about my beautiful blue eyes!


so my questions... do you like the direction your life is taking? are there surprises and if yes do you view them as positive or negative? what is happening in your life that you are actively working on changing for your future?
