Yesterday: Tax returns came in the mail. Somehow, a return had been delivered in care of Robert D Day. The moment took me off guard. "Meh.", says I and simply shuffled it to the back of the pile of mail and continued as if I never saw it at all! I texted him to let him know that I'd be delivering today. Then, I continued about my afternoon. This said, my friends are probably making a collective gasp...and sigh...I have arrived.
Two years ago: My life, as I knew it, came crashing down around my alligator loafers. There was a walk out, a break up, a "get back together", another break up, a move out, another "get back together", and then a final break up...the final. It took a year, many lost friendships, a few broken hearts, and a few "do over friendships" , apologies, and very unbalanced emotions. A definite life changing situation. Through all of it, I managed to stay true to myself...never made promises I couldn't keep...and basically kept myself protected. I found myself...I found my soul...I got my groove back. And at the two year(ish) anniversary I HAVE ARRIVED!!!
Today: I'm not a Kelly Clarkson fan, but I am a fan of Steel Magnolias. One of the many inspirational lines deliverd is "That which does not kill us, makes us stronger." I've always believd this. I found this "hit song" by Kelly Clarkson and decided to use it as my "personal anthem" today. I have finally arrived...I am something he will never be...stronger.
