May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground

Hello all my blogger darlings. I'm so sorry it has been so long but I was kinda afraid of this happening when I cut down to not blogging every night. Plus I have been dealing with some work stuff and other things that have made my OOMPH more like oomph. But I am hear know to shower you with my bloggy goodness. Today's blog is a bit serious but in a good way I think. 

So a few days ago it was my mommy's birfday. Amazingly enough KitKat, my mom and myself were all able to get the day off on her ACTUAL birfday so we all went out to the spa together. Mmmmm, Spaaaaaaaaa. Anywho, as we were sitting in the hot tub getting all relaxed and such, it occurred to mom that we were in a whole new place in our lives. Mom is starting a new job that she loves, I am living off the rock with my honey bunny, and Kitkat has just graduated from high school (p.s. she has GOT TO STOP GROWING UP I CAN'T STAND IT BUT I'M REALLY PROUD OF HER!) So here we are for the first time together as, I want to say grown ups, but that isn't really the correct term. But I suppose you get the idea. Then the even cooler thing came to mom. For the first time in a REALLY long time we were all in an amazingly good point in our lives. Now some of you know the stories, some of you don't, I'm not really going to go into that right now, but for a long time now one of us (or all of us) have not been in a good spot in our lives. Here is a tiny snippet of KitKat's (and my mom's) story. 

(Before I go on I have to say how amazingly proud I am of her for being able to say this out loud, in her own way, and for being so strong and loving. Ok, back on track...)

So obviously from this tiny snippet you can see that things were...ummm...Bad. But all of a sudden we came to the realization that things are Good.

 My mom has a new job that speaks to her heart, she is dating an amazing man, she is creating a home that fills her soul, and she is finally able to take some time and really enjoy it with her family.

KitKat just graduated from high school, her and Mom and going to go to Greece together, she isn't stressing about where she is going to go or what she is going to do, she is just going with the flow and is excited about where the road will take her. 

My story is a little more transitory but that is ok. I have a job that's ok and my own place again, I am dating one of the coolest guys I have ever know, and I am working really hard at making me be ok being me. All of these things may not be "great" but they are steps on my path towards the things that will be great. And the fact that I am moving towards something after so long treading water is pretty damn awesome. 

So, ya how neat-o is all of that? I don't want to get all inspirational and stuff (gag!) but to steal some song lyrics from FUN:

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on, Carry on, carry on
