WHOA NELLY!!!!

DC was hit with a fast and furious storm today. Some thought it was tornadoes while others described it as hurricane force winds. All I know is I had to run out the house to grab my clothes off the line and it looked treacherous. The clouds came so fast and the winds were so strong. I hope none of my  underwear are in anyone else's yard. lol.

My prayers and heart does go out to the two people who died in this weather today. It's hard to deal with but you just never ever know what's going to happen. I look at today as an example of my life in general. No matter how good things look, there may be a storm headed your way and when it hits you aren't quite sure what to do but you know you have to react. You don't know how long it'll be but  you pray so that you make it past the storm. my heart was beating faster when I went outside because I thought, "what if we're out here and a tornado comes from the other side of the trees?" Only God knows what the storms in your life will bring and all we can do is try to be prepared and weather the storms. After the storm, the sun started to shine and it almost appeared as if there was no storm but it left behind evidence of its existence. Trees down, power lines down, thousands of people without power and a few deaths from trees falling on a car and one on a little boy walking to a pool to swim with his family.

The last few weeks have been a storm for me but I'm here. The evidence of the storm is a broken heart, hurt feelings and confusion but I'm thankful because my power hasn't gone out and I wasn't killed by falling trees. I may have been, figuratively, hit by a one but I'm here. I'm still here to see another day and find another love. Dare I say that I'm excited about my future? I dare.  I'm ready. One moment I feel like if I could just reach back in time to change things the now could be different but I'm seeing things now that I couldn't see because I wanted so much for things to be different. I'm not the same woman and I'm okay with that. I'll never be the same and I think I'm okay with that also. I'm recovering from my sadness much faster now. I'm happy about that. We all have to live life the way we feel will best compliment us and the things we want to accomplish and it doesn't matter if someone else feels they are perfect for you. What matters is that you work to find what (and who) you want. I have absolutely not idea what the future will hold for me but I'm going to live. I wish everyone the best in finding the things and people who will help you be all that you desire to be.
