This week has been "one of those weeks". I had to end a relationship (but don't worry we are still friends). I got news that "the love of my life" (excuse the corny cliche but its applicable in this scenario) is expecting a baby and is engaged to be married. That one made my throat fall out of my posterior. Lastly to end this tragic trio, I got the dreaded call that a close relative has passed on. The idea that in conversation that person will become a 'was' instead of an 'is'- forever entrenched in the past tense......just a fading memory-until eventually you forget how they look- is saddening
These turn of events really got me re-evaluating this whole life thing hey......because it is hard to navigate at times.Having recently moved into adult-hood where I need to start thinking about jobs, career, business and the BIG BAD WORLD, which Ive heard can easily embrace you and with the same breath spit you out like milk that's reached its sell by date.The pressure to now become a hunter gatherer in this urban jungle is really daunting.The notion that whatever thought, decision and action you take today has a lot of influence tomorrow really makes one go into anxiety attack mode..........which is counterproductive really.
So I think I'm going to embrace life like a thorny rose branch.It may scratch and be a prick to me at times but that budding rouge rose with its lux bar soap fragrance will definitely remind of the beauty and point of it all.The real act of faith then will be choosing to take the next breath taking it all in.
In retrospect looking @ the lux bar soap of it all: this week has been a re-awakening ,the beginning of a friendship, the forming of a family, the homecoming of a beautiful soul..........
In loving memory of a beautiful women,a golden rose and an amazing soul that made everyone smile. A mother, a sister, a daughter, an aunt and a heroine.
