These Moments
when dessert and an incredible cup of coffee are shared with a friend,
and you are able to connect about the simple things in life
when your baby girl, now 17, finally gets on the
other side of heartache,
and is finally able to break free from
the bondage of the one
who hurt her
connecting unexpectedly with a blogger friend
i've admired for over a year,
and sharing our stories
is about as sweet
as it gets
day trips with girlfriends,
where you eat, laugh, and talk
and then repeat those steps all day long
the moment when you know Fall is coming,
and you can't wait to get back to baking
pies

the moment, when after 18 years,
you start to think about
your dreams again
the moment when you know your heart
was meant to travel,
and you start thinking
about where your suitcase will
rest next
the moment when everything around you is ok,
even if brief, you just know,
whether in death or birth,
acceptance or rejection,
or in feast or fallow,
you just know.
mmhmm. these are all good moments =)

ReplyDeleteGina,
ReplyDeleteSuch a beatiful post. I am so behind on blogging and even sometimes IG. Obviously I am horrible with email too. I am way better with texting. You seem to have such a dreamy life. I am so sorry that M got her heart broken. Painful. I am praying for her and I know that God has huge plans for her.
I love you
