Alone is okay

My good friend Irasema has a post on her blog with a video that I think is thoughtful and uplifting so I wanted share it.  Click here  if you're interested.  These days it seems like I'm getting better at being single.  Sure, it has it's ups and downs.  I mean, I love that my bedroom is yellow and my quilt has butterflies.  But I do sorta miss having someone tall enough to reach the top cabinets or change the light bulb in the hallway.  It's ok though, that's why step ladders were invented.  I guess the best thing being single has taught me is that I'm ok on my own.  I can take care of me.  I have my own unique and incredible thoughts.  I don't need to be completed, I'm whole on my own.

It wasn't so long ago that I felt like my world was falling apart.  But the thing about being human is that we have an uncanny ability to survive even the most difficult heartbreak.  Just because it was amicable doesn't mean it was easy.  That thing about time healing all wounds is true.  Really it is.  Each day, I rediscover something about myself.  And that is the thing time alone has given me above all others. 

Irasema, thank you for finding and posting this awesome video.  And thanks for the compliment.  You are one of the people that helped my heart mend and I am grateful.
