Safely Fallen

On Saturday night I went out to dinner with my cousin and some girls that I only slightly know. My cousin was sweet enough to invite me along and I could not have had a better time. Since returning to work, I have had much more “adult time” but much less “social time”, and it was nice to just be given the night off.

“Help me I think I’m falling in love again.”

Suddenly, I was reminded that along with the thrills of falling in love, there is also uncertainty and pain.

I was driving home to a messy house and a sick baby. I was driving home to budgets and debt. I was driving home to a full dishwasher and an empty washing machine.

I was driving home to my husband and child.

I was driving home to certainty and love. I was driving home to my family.

I decided that I do not wish that my life were any different. I do not wish that I had a couple more years of carefree living. I do not wish to be constantly wooed into falling in love.

Because I am already there. I have done the falling. I have completed that stage and I have made it to the endgame. I have a family. I have love.

I have what I was looking for when I was single and carefree.

I have it. I have them.

I’m linking up today with Courtney’s No Mom Talk Monday. Pop on over for some more great posts!
