Talking to Myself Again...

Are we ever really prepared for the things that life throws at us?

...Broken friendships.
The first kiss.
The first heartbreak.
The second heartbreak.
The third?
The fourth?
...Motherhood.
Single motherhood?
Marriage.
Separations.
Reconciliations.
Compromises both bitter and sweet.
Problems at work.
Juggling priorities...

Life is a never ending series of questions and answers...and events sometimes happen regardless of one's insight to them. Jacks-in-the-boxes popping up one by one in corners where you least expect them.

I wake up everyday to the sight of my daughter smiling at me and even for that, I find that I am unprepared for the inexplicable gush that floods my heart... The day could be frustrating or confusing or painful or sad. I'm ashamed to say that I probably need her more than shee needs me...

Because at the end of it all, she is my Reason.
My Happiness...
My Peace...
My Refuge...
And my Clarity...
