Sigh.

Long time married people.  Newly married people.  Firstly married.  Secondly married.  Families with many kids.  Families with one child.  New families.  Old families.  Together families.

They're everywhere I look, surrounding me.  And I took it for granted.  My beautiful, sweet, pure, and perfect family.  Now in it's place is this unfamiliar, broken mess.

What I see mocks and torments me.

So I fill the empty spots with extra.  And busy.  Lots and lots of busy.  Until the busyness runs out.  And then what?

And then I suppose I figure out how to make the proverbial silk purse out of a sow's ear.  How to change my perception of beautiful.  But I don't know how.

When you get a chance, take a look at what you've written so far. You're doing it. You're silk purse is a beautiful tapestry of all your feelings so far. Don't underestimate the healing and growth of the words that you have shared. Keep it coming. xoxo
