I have been away a while. I took a small vacation away from the children and went to visit the most amazing man in my world. I always feel so wonderful when I am with him. He looks at me in a way that makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world. He loves me so unconditionally. He lifts my spirit and lightens my heart in ways that I have not experienced since he and I were together many years ago. It is good to be with him.
I have some good friends as well. Friends who will tell me exactly what they are thinking, feeling....they will tell me when I have my head up my butt and actually help me pull it out. I cherish those friends. Even though it has been years since I have actually had the fortune to sit down with either of them face to face over a bottle of tequila. We keep up a friendship online through email and chat programs.
My family is a few hours away from me. I miss them and try to spend time with them when I can. My mother was just here for a few days, helping with the kids while I was away, and stayed on to visit. I love her dearly, but I find our time together can be so strained. I feel like she still thinks I am twelve years old. She comes in and takes over my home, rather than just being here and enjoying the time together. I find it difficult to have her in my home, and that makes me sad.
I am fortunate to have wonderful people in my life. My life is full. I have four healthy children and I, myself, have my health. Yet.....I am still searching for that inner peace and enlightenment.....

Me too, I'm still searching for that inner peace and elightenment. Good luck and hope you enjoyed your time away.
In 1990, I went to Lourdes on a pilgrimage. There, I find a peace that surrounds the whole place like nowhere else in this world...
You can try travelling there =)
Since then, I've discovered that prayer is the key to inner peace. Prayer is not a meaningless chanting away, but a relationship with God and any spiritual being. Focus on love.
If you get this part, you'll experience the peace that this world cannot give =)
Some people need to be distracted by things around from the noise within in order to experience inner peace... that works for a short while coz basically, our minds are so full of monkeys that it takes King Kong (a single sound to focus on) to stop them jumping around =P
Shalom!
