Where to begin?

2010 came. It sucked. It dragged. It sped by. It rocked! And now here I am at the end of January (already!) of 2011. We were so worried about the elections, but it seems this season will pass uneventfully, thank God. I pray the actual election process goes by as quietly.
My Boy Wonder has grown – oh how he has grown! He is such a fine fellow; so polite, so musical, so inquisitive, so beautiful, so blessed and so clever. And the little man loves his mummy. I can ask for nothing more – except perhaps the grace to be the best possible mother to my gift.
For 2011 I finally have a plan; which is basically to stay right where I am with a few minor adjustments. God willing these adjustments will come to pass sooner rather than later.
In other multi-coloured highlights, I went and caught a chronic case of feelings again. Yes, I fell in love. In fact I am still falling… further than Alice down the rabbit-hole.  Last year I thought I had love and life figured out, but I got hurt. Again. And I survived. Again.
And this year, I find that it can actually get better; it can be miraculous, even. He is amazing. Take all the cliches about him completing me and me knowing I loved him before I met him. Take all those old Sunday evening love songs and play them back to back.  Blend them with a thousand sunsets over a picturesque lake. Be as extravagant as you like with your colours – nothing you could paint could match the warmth in my soul.
If loving like a giddy teenager is wrong, I don’t think I will ever be right. This is my nature and each day I grow more at peace with who I am and what I am. Each day I lose a little bit of the fear that holds me back from Me.
So here’s to a year of Fearless. For each one of us.
