blessings

Sitting there with my aunt at another family member's wedding this evening - who would have imagined that there would be a connection between someone at the ripe old age of 20 something (never ask a lady her age) and a little woman aged 50 something? She made me laugh more than I had in a week. Amazing. And that little twinkle in her eye when she smiled at me - really warmed my heart. She even insisted on giving me a lift home. Truly, her being so endearing was what lit up my night at this wedding...that and seeing how two young ones very much in love ended up together after 8 long years. Rare in this day and age...Or am I being too pragmatic?

Words from Oprah, and a much younger Blogerator back then had said one of the best phrases in my life to date, "love yourself my dear, and your sparkle will bring more who will love you darling...just stop fishing in the wrong part of the ocean...babe, if you're getting rotten fishes now, you just have to move to another part of the vast seas..." And now he's with the man of his dreams :)

I guess his words struck a chord. We grow, we move forward, hand in hand...may there be lesser broken hearts with each passing day...
