Reflections
Everybody go find yourself a mirror and say to that gorgeous creature staring back at you, “Dang! you are a beautiful beast!”
I can watch a sunset on my own
Can’t take back those hours
But I won’t regret
‘Cause you can grow flowers
Where dirt used to be
Family Joy, Single Sadness
February 28, 2012 By
Having completely overwhelmed myself this month, I made a conscious decision to not blog during February so that I would have a bit more time. Today, however, I felt the need to share.
My sister-in-law had a baby yesterday. I am overjoyed for her and her husband, thrilled for the Grandparents and the uncle: my estranged husband.
This is where the sadness comes in. While there is definitely distance between me and the estranged, I still care a great deal about him and his family (which was my family too for so long). However, it’s been made clear to me that my caring is unwelcome among his clan. As a family pariah, I cannot participate actively in this joyous occasion, and that makes me sad.
Sadness is a part of life, however, and I can get along. This too shall pass.

Gather your broken dreams
And put all the pieces together…Sacrifices made were never sacrificed in vain
Such a small price to pay, yesterday
