You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

I am.

21 December, 2010 /

I am., originally uploaded by Suddenly Single.

Every day there is one more thing that reminds me that I need to do just this.
Today is just another ‘every day’.
I keep making the steps to do just this, and then I make the foolish mistake of taking 19 steps backward.

Today. Today is the last day I will do that.

It’s been two years of saying, “Next year will be better.” This year, this one is mine. I’ve made my resolutions and I’m sticking to them.

2011 I will be too busy to worry about what anyone else thinks. 2011 will be full of new, beautiful things.

Before this DAY is over, I will let go of all of it and be done with it…I need to make room and practice for 2011.
