Dear Friends,
As I enjoy my last bits of the weekend, I think about how much my life has changed in the past year. I think about people in the last year who I no longer speak to, and people in my life that I’ve currently questioned; where in previous times, I never did once. Recently, a few people have turned a new and hopeful leaf about our relationships, and I’m not sure how long or IF it will last, but what I do know is that I feel more peaceful and I trust myself and my judgment more as these things develop.
It’s a new month, a new dawn, a new May. I am tired of wondering, but I guess that’s part of the fun because where would we all be if life did not surprise us? We’d all be bored. Happy, but bored. I could use some more pleasant surprises in my life. Yesterday, walking along the Hudson River line, I felt serene and comfortable. I felt so happy to be in this city I never thought I could make it in – and so relieved that I feel that way. And then, two very unexpected things happened that made my day. And just like that, the frown I’d been sporting for most of the month of April, was turned upside down.
Maybe it’s the weather, maybe it’s the bigger person in me that believes in staying connected to certain people, or maybe it’s the Hudson. But whatever it is, I feel freer than I have in months.
‘Tis the season to share a smile, take a deep breath, and believe. You never know what kind of surprise will await you once you exhale.
Kisses,
Jessica
