It's been HOW long?

Ok, so, um, I've been busy. Thank the Universe -- busy beyond belief. Probably too busy, in all truthfulness. But working part-time has been amazing. I've had the opportunity to bite off waaaaaay more than I can chew, spent the last six months trying to potty-train a three-year-old (and not lose my mind), adjusted to my new part-time-crazy-working-mom-loving life. And had a blast doing it.

The only thing I've missed is this. I've missed it a lot. I haven't made time for it -- but in truth, it's because I've made time for so much else (although you don't want to see the state of my home office. I'm truly afraid that if I don't get in there soon to organize, purge and, I repeat, ORGANIZE, that my husband will submit me for an episode of Hoarders. I digress.).

Time -- it's always been about time, hasn't it? And now that I have more of it, I've filled it to the absolute brim so that I've got even less these days. Ironic, no? Even my husband complains that I'm always going somewhere, doing something, with the boy, with friends, with yet another project. Driving way too much. Taking too much on. But it's been fabulous. Hard, at times (such is the life with a 3-year-old). Crazy at others (such is the life of a mom). Truly insane at even others (such as it is as a writer, late nights and long hours writing and editing and writing and editing....). But, I repeat, so very good.

So here's to getting everything I wanted. Here's to being crazy busy but still having the days off to go to the zoo with the boys, the pool with Grif, the off-days to do errands or just play in the driveway, or stay up way too late with my pilot watching silly movies or talking into the wee hours, planning our next days, our next dinner, our next dreams.

Here's to it all. Thanks, everyone, everything. Proof positive that dreams do come true.

And a wee little promise, to myself, to the boy, to my pilot. To come here more often. Just for a few minutes. Oh, and to write in the boy's journal. And clean up the office. And get those pictures hung. And get back to yoga more often. And... And... enjoy all the rest.

With love, with light, with hope and peace. Thank you for this good, good life.
