I Love Writing

I guess we are having an early winter as we are about fifteen degrees below normal high for this time of the year.  I think the whole country is getting a taste of the cold weather.  I have stayed inside the last couple of days as it is bitter cold and my body has not adjusted yet.  We had snow flurries yesterday and it won't be long before we have the first big snowfall.

Since the outdoor activities have been curtailed, it is a good time to do some purging of what we think are keep sakes.  After 34 years of marriage and raising children, we have decided it is time to start cleaning out the attic and letting go of the past.  It has been quite interesting finding things we had forgotten about.  A trip down memory lane and suddenly you realize that we haven't changed as much as we thought.  We have just matured and hopefully grown a little wiser.  My children are getting a surprise as I am turning over their stored belongings.  They can store them at their own homes.  Ah, yes it feels good to let go and sad as we are reminded of some special moments in life.  I always get a little teary eyed when I see their baby pictures and memories of their childhood. 

As, for my husband and me, I have found papers from our college days.  It has been interesting reading some of the papers we composed.  I do say that some things never change as a college professor told me I had a gift of writing and he hoped I never let it go.  I guess it was in my life script to write as I still love to express myself.  

After all the trauma in my life the past couple of years, I had questioned a couple of times if I had lost who I really am.  Now that I am feeling better, a lot of my memories of my life are returning.  I pinch myself everyday as I am feeling like a new person.  Least I not forget who I was in order to get to who I am today.  All the good and bad things in life make us stronger and appreciative of the simple pleasures of life.  So out of trauma there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  I chose to change and write a new script.

My new script is filled with happiness for myself and a new healthy me.  So glad I stuck up for myself and kept moving forward.  Life is beautiful when your body is functioning in harmony.

Stay warm wherever you are !
