A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To...













It's funny how over time, as you age, as you gain experience and as you simply watch and learn, what you can absorb. I know there have been times in my life when things have been so out of control and have felt so dark, as if there will never be light again and somehow, somehow I have managed to grab on to the light. 

I am now 32 and while this is not a profound age, this is not earth-shattering by any means, it is simply the age at which I feel peace. The funny thing for me, looking back, is that I expected the peace to come so much earlier! When I was young :) I thought by about age 24 I would have met my prince, married him, about 3-4 years later, we would have kids, we would be happy, content and full of love. And then I would figure it all out, that once I some order in my life, everything would just "be" and the happiness would follow. However, life happens so much different than we plan, that is, if we are lucky. 

So now, here I am at 32, definitely met the prince and married him, no kids, just a dog, but so content with the price, with the dog, with the life and with the me - that I realize how important it all is. How important it was for me to get here. And all the bumps and bruises, ups and downs, laughter and tears that it took - I wouldn't change a thing. Because it all brought me here. Where I need to be, to get there

This is all very broad, but over the coming months, I am sure there will be more discoveries and I know that however I get there, will be a super fun journey.
