one year

A record low number of blogposts. More to say, yet also less, at least here. Time has definitely picked up from its snail pace of a little more than a year ago. And things have settled, though not everything. And certainly not us. The sentimentalist in me doesn't want to give up the newly-wed status quite yet. In a sense, it's a bit like not wanting to turn a year older on my birthday, though it's different, perhaps because though I don't want the year to end, I'm glad to be moving forward to the next.

Happy (belated) Anniversary!
Wow. One year. So many thoughts are tumbling out...and stopping at the keyboard.

I know how it's bittersweet, but I've come to realize something: I would cry at every birthday and yet I am actually much happier being older. Much. So now I try to be realistic at milestones, and realize that it's all sweet, and the sadness about moving on is all in my head.
Make sense?

Thanks. Yep one year...Stopping at the keyboard? But why?

I'm rarely actually sad to be moving on, but I suppose bittersweet is about right. I think the trouble I have of letting go of the past is that I don't want to give up the positive aspects of the previous stage, even if ultimately the next stage will be overall better.

Birthday's are different though. I'm not sad because that particular year is over, but rather that I'm a year older. In other words, it's the number that bothers me. Or shocks me! I think I'm becoming the prototypical woman who is in denial about her age. In my head, I'm still 20, and have to think twice every time someone asks me how old I am...
