The slow Journey

“Smile, breathe and go slowly.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh

 

 

I have a hard time remembering this sometimes.  I want what I want, and I want it NOW!!  :)  Right now my relationship is an exercise in patience.  The time will come when we will be able to be together all the time, but now is not that time. 

 

There is a light at the end of the tunnel.  I am excited, as are my parents I'm sure.  I've been here two years, 2 months.  That is a long time.  I don't think any of us were thinking it would be that long when we first moved in.  In fact, I was planning on staying for about 6 months and just having a separation from my ex-husband for that time, then moving back in with him.  That quickly changed to getting a divorce, and took 17 months (but who counted???).  Now, I'm at a new part of my life and going to start over, once again.

 

Right now, my light is 8 months away.  8 months of weekends, phone calls, and dinners whenever we can squeeze them in.

 

Right now I need to smile, and enjoy the love.  Breathe, and relax while letting the flower bloom.  Go slowly, and enjoy the journey.
