I Forgot



The Universe is not kidding when they say time heals are they? Truly it is the only healer. Thank goodness for time. If you had told me almost a year ago that I would forget the below few things even for an instant I would have laughed out loud:

1-Forget my daughter wears a body brace at night???

2-Forget to ask my Mom about her health on the phone one day and talk about other things?

3-Forget that we have or had three big social events coming up and that my husband won’t be drinking alcohol on these occasions or any occasions?

Well it happened. Al three times this week. Beauty fell asleep on front of fire last night and Hubby and I said “aww she is so cute-let her sleep there all night. This morning realized no brace!!!

Yesterday first conversation with my Mom on phone where I did not ask her how her head was doing and/or was not aware that I was consciously trying not to ask her how her head was doing. Just a nice old conversation like we used to have a year ago about friends and kids and life. Felt so goodJ

And the party last week for my husband‘s office that he got home at 1am did not obsess about how he was feeling not drinking or how he was feeling in general.. And New Year’s coming up and Christmas and I can actually picture it all without going into a full on panic . Hopefully he is also feeling similar? Hard to know and hard to talk about between us and will always be I imagine.

My hope is that Beauty, My Mom and My Hubby are also feeling time on their side as 2014 ends. And that maybe? Things are feeling a little easier for everyone to handle. My personal challenge will be to find ways to occupy all the leftover brain space in my mind now that all the things that kept my mind hostage in 2014….might actually be freed.
