Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now....
2010 was pretty eventful for me. Some of it good, most of it not so much. With my relocation to Fort Wayne for work and leaving home for days and weeks at a time, it was one of those years that seemed to be an extended trial by fire. The thing about fire is, it can be a very destructive force, but it can also be a tool used to forge an even stronger end result. When you are the one in the fire, it is difficult at the time to know where you are going to end up, destroyed or stronger. I am going to go out on a limb here and say 2010 brought me the latter result.
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish,
to go back to a place much simpler than this...
With all of the changes that the year brought in 2010, life got both more complicated and simple at the same time. I ended up making some very difficult choices to let go of some things that had once been so time consuming and enjoyable to me, in order to focus my limited time and energy of the people that are my life and world. When all is said and done, all of the clutter we add into our lives is nothing if we do not have our homes and families intact. It is hard to do that when you are several hundred miles away for days and weeks at a time, but we are working it out. We don't like it but we are working it out.
So here I stand and then again I say,
I'm hoping we can make some wishes out of airplanes...
Some days are easier than others, but not a day goes by that I do not wish that I was home at night after work and able to sleep in my own bed. I wish for the days that I could be there to offer a hug when needed or to collect one when I am down. I really miss having someone to scratch that darn spot on my back that is just out of reach but itches incredibly sometimes. It is funny the things that we take for granted until they are not there.
One of these days things will shift back around again, somehow. I keep looking for that change to come again. I hope when it does, I still remember to focus as much on the things I care most about as I have learned to do from here. I am optimistic....lol...at least today I am. It's a good day!
It is no wonder that my favorite song of 2010 was Airplanes...
