Heart Broke

 I understand how people come and go in our lives.  Sometimes they move, sometimes they leave, and sometimes they die.  Their own lives change and time passes.  It happens to us all.  Emotions can run high or be nonexistent.  

Today I realized that I had lost a person.  My friend has been in my life for over twenty years.  One of my biggest supporters.  I don't know what changed.  I almost have to assume it was something in her life.  Nothing is going on in mine to precipitate this change.  

And so, I have to let her go.  But my heart broke again.  My space is filled with remembrances of her, and I will keep it so.  Because she is a wonderful person in all respects.  I wish her well and send her off with light and love.  My heart will mend, maybe with all the love she gave me.  

New Routine

 It is taking awhile to adjust to this new routine.  When it is a long day at work, I don't get anything else done.  

When I was not working, I remember thinking "how did I ever have time for a job?'. Now I am thinking "when do I have time for the rest of it?".  I think it is getting better but it is a slow transition.  I will find my niche. 

And I'm really glad I found chicken bowls before I started working.  I try and get those set up when I have long days because I'm not cooking when I have been at work all day and getting home after dinnertime.
