Follow Your Own Path

Okay.  Deep breath time.  I've just packed the kids off to school and back to their father's for a few days.  I have not divulged thus far too much about my ex.  This blog is supposed to be about helping me to work through my issues, and to give you some inspiration to keep positive about life.  I strive very hard to do that - not only for myself, but also for my children.  My mantra has to be joy.  I have so many reasons to be joyful - my children - two by my ex, one by my life love.  Having found my true other half.  Being alive and breathing.

Learning to Dance in the Rain

A couple of summers back we experienced what they called a once in a hundred years storm. 

The skies opened up and dumped so much rain on us that roads were washed out, basements were flooded – and there wasn’t a thing we could do about it even if we’d known it was coming.

I remember that day distinctly.  I had my children at home and was taking care of my niece for the day. 

It had been pretty hot, and I’d promised them that we could go swimming at a local pool. 

There was a break in the rain, so we headed out. 

However, it turned out that the roads were flooded, and because of the storm, they’d closed the outdoor pool anyway, so we went back to my house.  The kids were pretty deflated.
