how we got here

sometimes i forget how i got here.  and sometimes i forget where ‘here’ is.  so, i’ve written it down so you will know and i will have a place to look when memory or reasons why fail me.

heard a song

lost some weight

embraced the fear

found my voice

wrote some letters

broke a heart

packed my stuff

drove a lot

sat on the beach

answered an ad

wrote some letters

made a call

laughed

kissed

cried

cooked (well, ate…)

laughed

embraced the fear

fell in love

lived out of a bag

gained the weight back

created a family

survived, ‘you’re not my mom!’

became not.the.mom

moved in
