Truer words...

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us. -
Henry David Thoreau

A little weary, a little worse for wear but...

It’s kinda funny how life works sometimes. Around this time last year, my dog had just died, my long-term relationship had bitten the dust about six months earlier but was still a massive ball of angst in my gut and I was preparing to go into hospital for surgery. My life resembled a country & western song. :P

Turn the clock forward about a year and things are looking very different. I find myself in love like I’ve never been before in my life. I still marvel everyday at the way she makes me feel. I am so grateful to the universe for giving me this opportunity and I’m thankful for everyday that I get to experience feeling this good about existing. Feeling this way is somewhat new ground for me and it isn’t easy and it isn’t simple but it is worth it.

So, as I stride forth into the second half of this year, I find myself in a rare position of contentment, perhaps a little less black around the edges (for now at least) and acutely aware of the fragility of said contentment. Realising that I have a lot of work to do to maintain this state of mind/existence but happily determined to put in the hard yards to make life work a little more in my favour.

For it and she, are definitely worth it.
