It's funny, remember when you had just gotten married and people would ask when you were going to have a kid? Or you had just had a baby and they would ask you if you were going to have more? Well when your husband dies, people can't help but ask, "Do you think you will get married again?" And of course you shake your head and you think that person is crazy. But after a while the loneliness settles in and the question isn't so abhorrent anymore. And you realize that our time on this earth should be a life full of love. When discussing with my friend whether or not she should continue to date somebody the question that was most important to me was: "Is there magic?" Because I had that in my marriage. And that is what I would expect if I ever decided to marry again. My Love has set the bar high! I have been finding that lately I am pleased just to survive. But it shouldn't be that way. I believe we all should have magic in our lives. But we need to feel like we are worthy of it or else we won't ever be able to accept it. I have decided to set my standards higher in all areas of my life. And you should too. So I painted this cloudscape with gold letters to remind me: "I am worthy of magic." We all are.
