Here's to maintaining some self-respect and sanity while tending to the growth and maturation of young minds, including your own young mind. Here's to recognizing that it isn't necessary to know how everything is going to turn out in advance, and that often Life has much better in store than one can imagine. Here's to hope and happiness even when Life gets complicated, especially then... That's when it's needed it most.

...afterall, the car may only seat seven but room for friends is unlimited...

The calm before the storm

You know that phenomenon where, right before a winter storm, things will suddenly warm up a lot? I guess that's where you might say that we are, now. D and I are in agreement. We have defined the state of our relationship. A calm peaceful feeling has settled over things. We have 5 really good reasons to maintain that friendship, and I hope that we can. I have more hope for that than just about anything else, truthfully. In many ways, it is like coming full circle - we've always been good friends and I hope that we always will be. My hope is that the storms of the future will stem from other things in our lives and that for the sake of those five sweet children, the storms of the last 1 1/2 years will be forever a part of the past.
