New Chapter

I've been running for so long. Running for survival. There wasn't a moment to stop and think. Only time to run. Now I'm where I want to be, yet my legs are use to running. I've got to slow down and enjoy the moments. There is time to think now. It's safe to make memories. It's safe to be here. I ran to the store to get shoes for my wedding day. I ran through the morning, fixing my hair and running kids here and there. We jumped in the car and hurried to the courthouse. Ceremony, pictures, dinner, home, moving, work, fix the cars, fix the house, keep unpacking.... Life won't slow down, but I want to capture these moments and make them a part of me. I don't need to run any longer. I am here. And it's so nice to be home.

Is this real?

As I stand in my kitchen putting my dishes away... The kids running in and out of the house... A good friend here to help out... My husband will be home in a few hours... Is this real? Somebody pinch me!
