Reflection in the waters of life

Sitting here watching my preschoolers nap, I think back on how far I've come in four short weeks. 

I love my life and where it's headed. I'm finally over my ex. School is about to start . And I love my job. I am so happy with my life me where it's going. 

Most importantly though, I am so happy with myself, how far I've come and my outlook on life in light of all this. I feel that in my trying to start over, I have found myself again. I have reconnected with parts of myself that we're buried. I glow with my love and exuberance for life. I have missed that part of myself. I've missed feeling all these wonderful things. 

It just takes time

I feel like I felt when I first moved to Austin.
Lonely.
Cooped up in my head waiting to talk to someone.
It's just me. Well, me and Max, my cat.
It's easier to stay busy now but I'm still lonely.
I miss home. I miss my family.
Max is good company :) he makes me feel not so lonely.
It's going to take some time for me to be ok with my own company again, but I know one day I'll get there.
It's just going to take time.
