View Number Une

I have gone to great lengths to begin again. That is true to my overall social networking profiles and now that I think about it, it reflects real life as well. I've stripped down my social network portfolios to a limited few and it's liberating (various reasons). I've got headspace. In real life, I've returned to the One thing. Comical, isn't it? That therein lies the secret to defining life - finding the single thing that matters most and staying determined in one's heart to go hard after it. It doesn't mean letting go completely of everything wonderful that life has to offer but kill the things that threaten your pursuit of the One Thing. In a nutshell.

This gentleman arrived this morning (18.8.16)

Please raise your glass with me: TO NEW BEGINNINGS.

Post-script essay: My first cousin but practically my sister finally met her firstborn this morning, August 18 2016. He is perfect. I'll give you a peek into my true feelings regarding little people--I'm not big on babies especially newborns. "Babies are born, what's new?"

This little lad is different. He makes my heart melt. Newborns rarely have that effect on me. Maybe they get cuter a few months down the line but when they're fresh out of the womb, I'm probably pretending with my high-pitched compliments and well-timed gawks. Should I be honest next time and just be a ghost in the back of the room. What's that? Oh, outside the room? Funny.

My point is, I'm not pretending. I can't. I am undeniably and completely smitten. I vow in my heart to love him as my own and that applies whether I meet him tomorrow or 5 years from now (He's only a few hours' worth of connecting-flights and a 6-hour drive away in a quaint little town called Griffith, Australia). Aunt Mode: I love you to your wee little soul, lad. The soul, you and I are going to have long discussions about things concerning the soul. Until then, enjoy your long naps and nobody bothering you about it. Take full advantage of this kingly period where as little as you are, you have Mum, Dad and a whole fleet running around at your command. Don't rush into life. Let it happen. Praying for you, son. Love you.
