I found this quote the other day which so richly expressed the feelings I have this week.
"When connections are real, they simply never die. They can be buried, or ignored or walked away from, but never broken. If you've deeply resonated with another person or place the connection remains despite any distance, time, situation, lack of presence, or circumstance. If you're doubtful then just try it - go and revisit a person or place and see if there's any sense at all of the space between then and now.
If it was truly real, you'll be instantly swept back into the moment it was before it left - during the same year and place with the same wonder and hope, comfort and heartbeat.
Real connections live on forever."

This week has reminded me of this truth. To the ladies that have remained and to those that have returned in my life. Thank you for being the beautiful flowers in the garden of my memories. Even if we have drifted away, there is a significant place on the shelf of my heart that will house my love and adoration for you. (sadly, Weaver, I didn't grab one of our older photos to add, my bad)
I have so many thoughts today but I can't make heads or tails of them... maybe if I write them down I will find a common thread.
1. new day, new week, new daycare. She's allowed to have her paci? really? you mean she did fine? she played with kids? WEIRD. (sarcasm, I knew I was right!)
2. I always wanted to name my daughter Olivia. My husband issued a stern "veto" due to an unfortunate prom experience with a lying cheating Olivia. This makes me sad. Life lesson, don't be a b(%^^* because it could ruin some girls dream waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the road.
3. what do I want to do with my life?
4. I really don't want to move to homestead. what a horrible place. But is it still better than here?
5. These people have too much money
6. I wish I had too much money. Not forever, maybe just a month.
7. Really, Bogota?!
8. Sometimes my boss makes me feel like I walk on water, other times the water is just at my head. There really is no in between.
9. are we ready for a second baby? I really wanted to be out of debt so I could enjoy that time.
10. I want my mama.
Ok, I found the common thread. I'm nuts.
