After twelve years of being in a relationship, I have found myself wanting to face this scary world on my own. Now, that is not to say that the breaking up process was and is any easier, and it is not to say that I am not wanting to crawl into my big, empty king-size bed with a bottle of Peach Snapps, a box of Kleenex and possibly some chocolate, but I am now going to open up my heart to the new possibilities that shall arise.
The theme of my blog, once my best friend Lori helps me to figure out how to put it all together, shall be based on the majestic peacock and all of the symbolism that is attached to this fabulous and showy bird. I will continue to live my life as I have always thought I did, by being open to everything and anything that comes my way; in this way, I shall be imitating the peacock by holding my heart on my sleeve and being open to new opportunities in the same way that the peacock chooses to be open to the world by displaying all of his plumage rather than hiding his beautiful feathers to himself. So, watch out world, because here I come!
This new journey of mine shall include an appreciation and contemplation of the smaller pleasures in life that are often taken for granted; thus, you might find me writing about a smile passed between me and a stranger on the metro, the wonderful moment when a spoonful of a carefully selected and self-served frozen yogurt slowly dissolves in my mouth, or even of a friendly and fluffy cat sitting in my lap while I am typing. I shall be sharing my thoughts and feelings while describing the moment to you in great detail so that perhaps you can get some joy out of my magical moments as well!
I am now and ever shall be on a quest to find all of the happiness I possibly can in every single situation that I find myself in. At the same time, I am aware that my heart shall be broken and trampled upon a thousand times simply because I shall be keeping it so exposed and vulnerable, but I will counter that with examining all of the small joys that life can bring.
I hope that you will join me in my contemplations and examinations while I share my little perspective on the little things... perhaps one day all of these little things will add up and I will be content, satisfied and fulfilled.
What a great first post! I so look forward to reading about all the little GOOD things in your life. Inspiration comes form everywhere and anywhere! This will be a fresh breath of air to read. YAY! :D
