Giddiness of the Soul

It's hard to post in the midst of turmoil. My life has been chaotic over the last year. I don't really want to go into the specifics of it all, but here's the gist...I've been back in Louisiana since December & while it's not a move I thought I'd ever make again, I'm glad to be back with family. I've been working, started back to school & though Aaron stayed in Washington these last 6 months, we've kept in contact consistently & he'll be joining me here in humid sticky Louisiana within a month or so. Oh boy, have I missed that man. I am gonna be smiling from ear to ear for at least a month straight once he gets here, but I'm glad for the time that we both had to re-evaluate our lives & our priorities. I certainly feel much more grounded than I did when I got here. What a trial the first few months were. Tears & confusion were certainly the ruling factor in those months, but they moved quickly past. I'm slowly moving forward as an individual again, taking my time to find the parts of me that got lost in the turmoil & exploring facets of my personality that were created by it. There is an excitement in finding oneself that I can only describe as giddiness of the soul. I'm filled with it now as I meander along my road of spiritual, physical & emotional recovery. I'm not where I could be, but I feel comfortable with where I am, & that's good enough for me.
