Seriously. As if the name of the blog was really important or something. I just realized its not as easy to sum myself up in some pithy little phrase as it used to be.
I've digressed before I've even began. Folks, welcome to my blog. I realized that the only reason I was keeping myspace around was for the blog; now I can close that silly, albeit fun for a time, thing.
Besides. I began that blog a whole other life ago; and it seems absurd to let it continue to exist out in cyberspace (in the information superhighway!) does it not? Or, is it like keeping around pictures of deceased loved ones? Except, I don't love the person I used to be anymore. I used to drink too much, understandably though, in the absence of anything meaningful to NOT drink for. I used to be this strange chameleonesque lady who changed her opinions and standards based on her company.
I have lots to be thankful for now. Namely that I pulled my head out of my ass and decided to start living my life right--and by "right" I don't mean particularly moral or whatever, I mean according to what I know is right for ME, and the desires of my heart. According to the truth that my gut is telling me.
I hate the word "truth" though, because I really don't believe in the absolute-ness that the word implies. Every single thing is relative and subject to the twists and turns of imperfect recollections.
Except for this: I have a fantastic life. I've got this incredible man who loves me who married me last spring, an amazing, beautiful, funny little girl who I gave birth to last fall, a mostly sunny outlook on life despite an inability to move on to our next chapter (DAMNIT, house, WHY WON'T YOU SELL?????), and a heart full of gratitude for the opportunity to make my life GREAT despite a rocky start (in several different ways.)
Now:
I want to be the best me I can and be true to myself, above all. If I achieve that, then I will naturally become the best mom, the best wife, the best friend, the best employee, the best daughter, etc. That is the most important thing to me right now.
