I’m always thinking. Mind is always humming along in various directions. Of course, there are times when it is slow, or even blank. That’s pretty rare though.

I want to talk about all of the crazy fun I had on vacation. But one of the things that has been flitting back and forth in my head has been what someone said to me during my vacation.

I had the opportunity to meet up with a “Board Mom”. Those in my every day life have come to understand the terms “July Mom” and “Board Mom”. I have to save the long story of their definitions for another day.

Anyway... Portland. I met this friend of mine at a fountain in downtown Portland. The boys get to play in the water and Billie gets to meet another mom. Sweet!

While one or both boys were off exploring the potty yet again with Billie, my mom friend asked how Billie and I were doing. I was quite open with my grief when we broke up last fall but I never really said much when we got back together. Interesting. I assured here things were fine. But that thought spent some time in my head on the way home.

I feel good. And solid. And so does my relationship. I think I might have been holding my breath for a bit. I’m relaxed and going with the flow right now. I really do my damnedest to stay present and in the moment. It doesn’t do any good to worry about what ifs or try and imagine what might be. I have moments, but I get back on track. Right now... I’m happy. I’m freaking stoked about school starting back up again. I’m freaking stoked the kids are going back to school. I’m in happy organization mode right now.

As the anniversary of that weekend nears, I’ll focus on those moments some more. But right now... I’m good and where I want to be. I just wanted to you guys to know that. :)
