Learning To Fly

{My son flying the kite he was given by his grandparents for Easter}

There was never a single moment in my adult life as a woman where I thought "I am going to have children and raise them alone". I did everything that I thought would bring me that fairy tale life I so dreamed of as a young girl growing up...but fate had other plans for me. Many single working mom's will tell you what I learned very quickly. You can do it all, just not all of it well. Something in my life always has to give, some things more than others, and in the end each and every day I just do my very best to move on to the next. I think in the early stages I was so exuberant to be out on my own with all that life had in store for me. Over time, you ascertain that in this life, you have to spread your wings so that you can learn to soar. It isn't ever easy. It is not unlike the kites we flew at the park this past Sunday. There was no way to know which ones would take flight and which would flutter in the wind. I had had such a busy weekend and the week prior was so stressful, that I made the command decision to slow down, put down my landing gear and rest. Best decision I made that entire week.
