The death of Ego and then some...

What an extremely busy day I had today. I spent the morning at the Olympics for Morgan's school. I met some very nice parents. Bonnie, Jonathan, Zachary and I were in charge of the softball throw area. We worked great together, and had fun in the process. I was able to watch, as Morgan competed in her chosen events. I cherished each moment that I shared with her today.

As soon as I got home, Ayva and I went to Story Time with Mr. Pedro. The books were all about insects. Mr. Pedro walked around the room with a stuffed bumblebee with sparkly wings. All the children wanted to keep touching it. Ayva really enjoyed the book with the pop-up butterflies the best. Once it was over, we went home to eat lunch. Before I knew it, it was time to pick up Morgan from school. From there we went to her swimming classes. I was so proud of the courage she exhibited. It appears that her intestinal fortitude is greater than mine. The moms and I watched as the children accomplished new goals, and looked over at us with a sense of pride. I was video taping like a mad woman in an attempt to preserve what I was seeing. Chris surprised us by coming by to watch. He was happy to see Morgan and her accomplishments.

Later on, I went to meet up with Dr. Chu. We discussed so many topics. We enjoyed really intense conversations about life, purpose, happiness, love, dysfunction, parallel universes, etc. I am amazed at the capacity of the human brain to learn, and acquire new information that increases our wisdom. Once again, I discovered things about myself that had remained dormant for so long. I began piecing together the most delicate fragments of my past, and moved swiftly through the fog of forgotten dreams. There are some things that I can't change, no matter how great my desire is. I need to grieve, before I can accept. I'm at peace with that. I have once again entered a new phase of my life. There are some new players, new roles, and I must adapt accordingly. A new perspective has emerged that will assist me in my ongoing journey toward self-discovery. I am ready for whatever comes my way.
