'Lost in love...'
You know I find it so funny...thinking on things.
About how when we are first in relationships; how happy we are, how blissful, how much we seem to ‘want’ the relationship. We do the little things, we preen ourselves, we seem to be on our best behaviour...
Then after months of being together – (according to Mr. C it’s around the 9-month mark – but I am sure for some couples it’s earlier) – ‘real life’ rears it’s ugly head. All of a sudden the ‘romantic’ bits start to fade. People begin to show their true colours – or, if you are dealing with a ‘family’ perhaps you are meeting the kids by now or spending more time with them...
These situations can prove to be a trial even for the most compatible couples. The sudden removal of those ‘rose coloured’ glasses is (pun intended), eye opening.
I don’t want to be ‘blinded by the light’ (yeah OK go read something else if you are sick of this) – I want to be the person I know I am capable of being. I want to step up to the plate when needed. I want to not let fear motivate/inform my life.
I feel so blessed by the love in my life. To me it has become my ‘life’ – I welcome this love, I embrace this love, I am happy in this love. I want this to be where I spend the rest of my days. I am willing to do even the hardest work to make this relationship last.
I’ve written before about people being willing to just throw things away when the going gets rough – to me this relationship isn’t something that disposable – even when I get scared, even when I have doubts – I love this man with all my heart, my soul, my mind – I pray for the strength and especially the patience needed to be the best wife and mother I can be – and for patience and wisdom for myself – to remain calm in the eye of the storm – to be still and know that ‘I AM’.
