Today was good for my heart

I saw a friend today that was in town. We have been friends off and on for 21years! We caught up and chatted. He met hubby for the frist time and Daughter and went with me to get lil man from school before heading back outta town.

Tonight was my daughter’s 18th birthday party. I’m sore from cleaning And preping. a few of her friends who don’t have much time to visit often, made time to come. These are the people who have always had an open invite here. After most the family guests left we sat down to a very large game of cards against humanity. I’m not a quiet reserved mom. I’ll make jokes and have the teens (18-20year olds) rolling. And i havnt had a good laugh and fun like I had tonight in a long time. It was healing to my heart.

Tonight my oldest daughter also came down for her sisters birthday party, and is staying the night. I find a since of comfort.. I do miss… having my babies all under one roof. But tonight I have that. And i enjoy it.

My heart is healing, My soul is finding new butterflies to chase, and I’m slowly starting to notice the proverbial garden of my crazy life has a few beautiful flowers still to enjoy.. all just takes time..

You don’t. It isn’t a game she’s playing. She isn’t manipulating, fishing for compliments, or trying to trap you. Despite what the world has taught you, she has a rare, direct honesty in the way she interacts and a pure heart that most can’t recognize, let alone believe. Her insecurity only surfaces when she is trying to let someone in, don’t you understand? She feels so deeply… it has cost her greatly in her lifetime. It is easier, safer, and much more rational to default to doubt… it hurts less than trust. She won’t allow herself to believe most anything unless it is explicitly said as well as shown… and often repeated. Years of emotional neglect does that to a person. It doesn’t make her broken, but it does make her different. Her doubt isn’t about you. When you pull away, it will almost always be interpreted as rejection. It’s ok if you don’t want the responsibility, believe me, the woman understands completely, and while she doesn’t blame you, she also knows she’s worth it. The little girl though? It simply makes her sad, because she peeks out of hiding so seldom, and shows glimpses of her soul to so few. Like most treasures worth owning, she is obscured from casual sight; she requires being earnestly sought. ~dd

Always a reblog, because this is how many of us (male and female) feel. Be kind and loving to one another, you’ll be amazed at what can happen with a little patience and understanding.
