growing

Today I was struck by how much my old friends have not changed. Then I realized that what really blew my mind was how much I have.

There was me in high school, and me in college. Me in my post college years in a beach town. Me returning to hometown and flailing for a while. Me returning to another hometown and beginning to put it all back together. Then, suddenly, me as a wife and a mother.

My husband and son bring me more joy than I ever imagined life would offer.

But sometimes I wonder...whatever happened to Me? I wouldn't trade places with any other Me...no doubt about it!

But today in my life as a wife and a mother I feel completely divorced from everything I used to be.
