Monday's

Another intense Monday. I have come to appreciate them and actually look forward to the intensity that Monday's bring. They are always enlightening and enriching and today is no exception. I heard a very interesting statement today. "I miss the absence of her/his presence." This made me stop and think. Interesting statement, if you just hear it you might not stop to listen or let it overcome you, but if you do, as you will now, it is very profound really. When you lose someone close to you, you miss the little things that you never would of thought that you would miss. I miss Stacie more than I can express in words hearing this kind of put it into perspective some what. It made me realize that the things I miss about her are just the silly things, I miss her Good Morning texts, I miss her laugh, I miss our gossip sessions, I miss the closeness that I had with her. We had a special bond that I have never had with anyone else and it was amazing. I know that my life is enriched by her friendship. My life will never be the same and that is okay!

I know that by writing down my thoughts it helps me muddle through them, so hopefully in my quest to find a "new normal" I am also able to help someone else along the way.
