November 2010 – 2 years later – I found 2 of my favorite things that I get the least of now a days -> time and silence. My lap top is easily accessible so here I go… I’m still married. Happily to say the least but it doesn’t come easy. It’s true “Chemistry gets you started, commitment is the contract, and finally the major handshake (or the ring in this case) and communication keeps the field clear afterwards.” Communication is a skill that I learned after my marriage –a skill I’m learning day by day that I thought I mastered in college. Today’s blog is not intended to be a blog about my marriage only a simple update of what has been missed since the last time I wrote. I didn’t write for 2 years not because of a technical snafu but lack of finding time for myself to indulge in things I like to do. (pause) I’m a mother of two now and it’s true, it echoes in my ear everyday – it’s hard, stressful, time consuming, depleting, tiresome, no time for showers-sex-manicures-haircuts-reading-facials-calling your loved ones…………….. all of this is true. Yet, my two beautiful healthy boys counter that and just a simple ‘Hi Mommy’ turns my exhaustion into high energy, love, and true happiness. And balancing between family, work, friends, and me has become a reality. Managing my priority was the easy part, juggling life events was challenging. Yet, I’m sluggishly learning, letting things go that are not important, and reminding myself to enjoy/embrace/soak up what each day brings. All while being happily married to my one and only.
