Queen of Dreams Radio
Today, I sat under the fan in our den and enjoyed the cool breeze. I had been in and out in the hot, humid air and the breeze felt like a sheer indulgence that must have been meant to be savored as it felt so delightful to me.
As I enjoyed the sensation of the breeze on my skin, I looked around the room and noticed a few things I haven’t looked at in quite a while. We have two angel prints that hang on a wall where you can’t see them unless you are facing a particular angle. I bought those and several other angel prints when I divorced my first husband. They brought me tremendous comfort as I would return to my apartment each night. I never lived alone until I was 28, and though I love being alone, going home to an empty apartment – especially one that was located at the back of an apartment complex near a creek – could be a little scary.
I remember how hard it was to make that decision to leave. I was full of fear – Would I go to hell for divorce? Would I make a huge mistake? Had I given the relationship my all? Could I make it on my own?
Now, nearly fourteen years later, I know that I made the best decision for me. I did well on my own and enjoyed it very much. Today, I am married to my soul mate and have a beautiful son I wouldn’t have otherwise.
Sometimes the simple moments– like relaxing under the fan – are full of so much more than we could have ever dreamt at the time.
