Butterfly

A new day, a new life for us is what I would like to share in this post. It's so beautiful, really. People change, we all learn, and only some grow. We have had one giant load of change recently. It's been some wonderful modifications to us individually and as a family.

I decided to make a switch in my career, it's been a night and day difference... literally. No more night shifts for me, this girls gone day. I decided this was much needed over a summer vacation when my body got to experience a sleep routine at night... and got to feel the energy/clarity/rest that was lacking from the past year and a half of nights. Too hard to go back at that point.

Butterflies are... so symbolic. Meaning some of soul, love and a new beginning in life after being in a state of entrapment. I remember of such a time when butterflies didn't fly, what an omen that day. Though now in these times I swear my soul is still the same, with more love in my spirit... here is my beginning... here is our start.

I was deliberately wary about the change I put my much loved children through. This was the time though. We eased out of that hard fog we were amidst. We needed that familiarity of our old home and the all that went with our life there... and taking time to say the bye we needed. So here we are and moved into a new home- out of the fog and entering into our clarity, still strong together as ever! That's a loving family. And might I add still with the people and surroundings we value and cherish so deep in our lives, so lucky we are.

During that fog a good friend of mine gave me a gift that said "Just when the catepillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly." Wink, wink. :)
