Big Steps and Sunshine
Life as always chugs along and we just "go with the flow." Well that is what most people and families would say...not me or mine.
No, my little family and myself always seems to be going against the grain or swimming up stream. In the eyes of most people we are "hippies, weird or odd." For us, well, it is normal. Sometimes all the oddities of my life catch up with me and make me overwhelmed or nervous. I look around and think that I can't do it anymore. I can't travel. I can't live in multiple places. There is a being flexible and then there is just being mush....Ah rant over.
Much like any new mom, wife, partner or any woman for that matter we have break-downs. We cry we need to be held, and we need to hear those magical words "Everything is ok."
Thanks to a really great girlfriend (you know who you are) and the MOST amazing partner I made it through my break down yesterday. Sometimes all we needs is perspective to put things into focus. So this morning I was re-focused. Life is life.
The W family has been doing some major growing in the last year or so. First we welcomed our new Pup Miss Bomber....then a short while later we found out we were having our little Mr Gus. Our family of three jumped to five quickly. No longer would traveling for work and business be two humans and a pup...nope. Now it is three humans and two pups. Seems easy enough, NOT really. Some how we make it work. Friends and family alike ask "when are you going to settle down?" What is there that needs settling? This is our life. Our work. Our family. It is what we do. To understand is hard but to accept it is easy. We have more than one place we call "home" but we have Ethel and STL. The important thing is that we are together. Isn't that what is important? Home is where the heart is. Well my heart (as corny and cliche as it sounds) is with my partner, my husband, my love and our son. If they travel to the ends of the world I would travel with them. It is where we belong...together.
This morning as I woke up to the happy little face of Gus scooting across our bed with his amazing Papa behind him life was bathed in sunshine. Yes it is hard. It is so hard. We cry together. We laugh together. Through it all we are right there together holding hands and holding one another up.
So tonight as I finish this up. I am sitting next to my heart, my home...
