A Quick Sidelong Glance

A delicious part of being single again has been the journey to find my voice once more. 

• I forgot that I was a funny person, that I know how to make people laugh. 
• I forgot that I can be wildly flirtatious yet retain a man's high opinion of me.
• I forgot that I am a creative writer who has the capability of perfectly suspending a moment in written form and delivering it to an eager reader.
• I forgot that I am considered attractive by some.
• I forgot that I like to take photographs.
• I forgot that singing is one of my GREATEST joys. 

I sing all the time now. I write all the time now. I take photos and email them to individuals or to Facebook. I flirt often, and it's starting to become easy again. I am actively seeking joy in this world, and so far it's coming back to me by the bucket load. I can't say that life is easy yet, but it sure ain't as hard as it was a year ago.

If you seek happiness, you can find it. I'm not saying it's an easy journey, but it's not an insurmountable one, either.  Climb! Reach! Run! Grab! And always keep your heart open to the next great experience while remembering that great experiences sometimes come in very tiny packages.

"I kept falling over, I kept looking backward
I went broke believing that the simple should be hard
All we are we are and every day is a start of something beautiful" ~ Matt Nathanson
