Excited for Spring and Summer

Can I just say that the weather changing, even if it has caused my allergies to go hay wire, has been awesome. I am loving the warmth of the sun and the blooms of the flowers.

I'm excited to do yard work, turn the earth and plant some herbs or veggies.

Also, I am back to red hair. I tried bleaching it, going blue and attempted purple, which just made it overall this cool gray/silver color with some leftover blue roots and some purple highlights. Interesting, but a bit off. Now that it's red again, I need a bit of a shorter style.

Classes are still going. Almost one with the current class, and I will have a week off before the next one starts. What is new is this summer I am taking 2 classes, with a month overlap, not my typical MO. I will be graduating in the spring of 2020 and I am definitely excited for that!

My kid is doing amazing. Mostly A's and B's, he's about to turn 18 and then graduate. I am so damn proud of him. He has a job lined up until he is processed with the Air Force (fingers crossed on that). He is just a good kid, and I am so happy he's made some good decisions and is thinking about his future, even if he is clueless on what that is as of yet. Who has a clue at 18?? Very very few and even then it can change pretty rapidly and easily. He's been lucky in some things, but I am just happy with how much he's matured in the last couple of years. It's so nice to see the person you love and have taught and guided and helped to develop into a person you are proud of and want in your life. That does not always happen.

In other news, I still have this amazing boyfriend that I absolutely am in love with and super happy to still be with. It's going on 6 years soon and that is pretty damn amazing :)

Just a brief moment

Do you ever have a moment, while drinking or not, that you just think about life and just how damn happy you are? Because I have this amazing boyfriend, I am so happy to find the kind of person I need and appreciate in my life.

That is pretty significant, no? Realizing how amazing it is to be loved and to the love the person who loves you.

Love is not always easy, though it's not quite a battle either. I am so thankful that my love is not a battle, like my last relationship. I am so happy that he just loves me, seriously, loves me just because of me. Good or bad mood, good or bad day, just because we get it. We understand each other. We understand the other.

Have you have that moment of clarty, of just understanding?

That you're both blessed and amazed that the one who loves you and you love back?

I realize this might seem simple, or whatever. But actually finding someone that cares and loves you makes such an amazing thing in ones life.

It's a relief, that breath of happiness, the utterly content moment of just love. I don't even really know how to explain how damn happy I am.

It's just that little minor yet significant moment, of :
I love you
I miss you
I wish you were here

These quick and seemingly minor moments, though I will admit it can't happen unless you love yourself. Loving yourself is so critical, without you can't really know how much love impacts your life. We take ourselves for granted, we really don't always understand how important and vital self love is to our overall happiness. Self, and significant other love helps us know us. Our friends, ourselves, our loved ones, these moments come in amazingly brief ideas and we're able to figure yourself in just that right moment.
