Hello there reader,
It's been a while since I just let myself blog for no real reason at all, but here it goes. Let us see where this takes us. There are a lot of things that I could share, but let me just free-type and see where this blog jumps.
My new job is full of incredible people, staff and students. What a blessing that this job came to me just when I needed it too! Being laid off, snagging that incredible long-term sub position, and then becoming a Falcon, all of this happened in a gorgeous life-changing cycle and I am blessed.
Since my Momma left this plane of existence so many things have come and gone. All I want is to give her a call, so instead I have been writing her letters and talking to the whisper of her I can hear on the breeze. I am thankful that we still have our ways of bridging the gap.
My dear husband who is the very essence of kindness has seen me through so many things, but our schedules prohibit us from being together very often as of late. I've learned how to cope by cleaning, writing, singing, doing things for me, for us, for the animals, and with other people. I am so proud of the man he has become. I honestly believe he can do anything because he has shown me time and again that he is a being unbound by limitation. If he doesn't understand something, he learns how and he is an inspiration.
My beautiful sister, yes sister, some of you might know her as my niece, is taking on the world. Together we carry the moon and we love one another all the way around. No matter how far she travels from me, we're never truly parted. She is seizing the day at college, coming back to her roots some weekends, and just kicking butt at being a human being. I am more myself with her than I am anywhere else in the world. That's why we're never really apart because she carries such a big part of me wherever she goes and she is so much of my heart.
My fur-babies are still filling my universe with laughter and completeness. I have eleven, yes, eleven fur-kiddos. Not a day goes by that I regret the decision to make my home into a partial zoo. They are all worth the cleaning, the vet trips, the shopping for specialty foods, and the numerous other tasks that giving them a home has laid out before me. The dooks, the purrs, the hops, skips, batting of paws, pitter-patter of small tootsies, all of it fills my life with immense amounts of joy.
All around me I have a crew of beautiful souls on weekends, weekdays, and nights, who call me up just to check on me or visit just to say hello, and I am beyond grateful, especially on the rough days. I try to see even the most difficult days as gifts because if all I am is broken, how can I be in so much awe of all the wonderful beings who come into my sphere just for the sake of loving me?
If you want to know the truth, with all of the sorrow in my life, all of the loss that people are constantly asking me how I've survived through, these things still refresh me. Everywhere I look there's a challenge, but I will rise. I have learned through it all to love myself and to forgive myself for my numerous short-comings, so that even when I am all alone with myself, I know I will be okay, but all of these beings enrich my life so much more. From my students to my closest friends, I am blessed to be able to walk this Earth one more day.
Thank you reader, and remember, I believe in you because you deserve to read on. You are a unique and beautiful force in this world.
Love and peace be with you,
Krista Becker
