Short journaling. 1) Yoga tonight: Aahhhhh!!!! 2) Flowmom mentioned tonight's Perseid Meteor Shower in the.alt today. I watch them every year and I had forgotten! Unfortunately, it is heavily cloudy and overcast tonight. Too bad, since it's a New Moon and the Earth is going to pass through a particularly dense section of it this year.
And then I thought that nineteen years ago tonight, after a couple of months of dating X, I got to meet to-be StepD and StepS. We all went in my car to a field to watch the Perseids.
Another "anniversary date" that brought me joy and fond memories instead of feelings of loss and pain. Progress.
Aside from X in my life and as my wife, I've always said that StepD and StepS were unexpected mid-life blessings. And they were. I will always cherish my years with them and coming into their lives in time to watch their teenage years (they were 13 and 15 then) and help "launch them" and watch the wonderful, charming, passionate adults they've become.
Peace,
Gardener
