eleven.
eleven hides amongst the hustle of moving, settling, working, selling, living, and loving.
eleven is certainly no ten. ten was a heavy burden. a mountain, i so desperately needed to cross.
eleven is like starting over. a new decade. a new beginning. eleven so carefully falls along side of a brand new marriage. a new house. a new home.
6/3/03 forever reminds me that i have seen a darkness that is darker than dark. that through a lot of fighting, losing, leaning, tears, time-outs, and the power of medication i can be confident standing in the light.
there are tears. there is fear. there is gratitude.
for the first time in eleven years i am not stopped in my tracks looking at a tarnished, tattered, and scarred reflection. there is peace.
an abundance of peace.
i am so very thankful for the village that works to keep my head above water. for the dreams that haven't been too big. and for this perfectly placed fresh start that has me smiling and grateful, even through occasional tears.
each and everyone of you, you know exactly who you are, i am forever indebted to you. from here to eternity
to anyone that may carry a similar burden silently and alone, my strength is not that great but i most definitely understand.
each year is a clumsy celebration but this year, i feel pretty close to 6 feet tall....and bullet proof.
"read all about it, pt iii" by emeli sande has more than one meaning for me. her voice is flawless and these lyrics are perfection, for anyone and everyone.
