Anticipation

Never before have I craved the coming of Spring so badly. Last year with the approaching date of my wedding, Spring meant a beginning: a beginning of a new life, a new home, a new family, and a new future. This year, Spring is renewal. The past seven months have been brutal in regards to many aspects of my life. My health, my emotions, my career, and my relationships have all in some way or another been affected by the recurring aftershock of The Wreck. Now, with Spring here and so many incidences concerning The Wreck coming to an end, I feel refreshed, invigorated, and restored.

So many things have changed over the course of a year. Surprisingly, most of these changes have been good, and though they may have battered me initially they have now left me whole, sound, and unshaken. I can see the shoreline after a long, stormy, macabre journey, and I look forward to facing it with a shining smile and light heart.
