7 minute update

I’m so happy. But more importantly I am
grateful,
incredibly aware of how lucky I am,
excited about the next day and the next one after that,
taking care of myself,
going to bed early,
making a budget,
saying yes to new people,
letting go of old griefs,
light as a feather.

Let this be a lesson to myself not to host self-doubt for so many years. He wore out his welcome. Stayed too long in my house. We get along better when he’s an overnight guest, that politely packs up and heads out of town again the next day. It is all ok in the end, came out in the wash, rainbow after the storm, happened for a reason.

If I did it all again, I would try to be more mindful, live in the moment, savour it. But I have no regrets. Only gratitude for everything that happened.
