When does it happen? When do you flip that switch? You know the one I mean -- the one where you stop worrying about how skinny you are and instead find ways to keep your body healthy and strong. That little clicker that moves from caring about what model of car you drive, to what types of snacks are in your glove box for the rider in the little seat in the back. It’s the shiny moment when you realize that sitting on the back porch watching the sun set in the summer shimmer while the boys in your life play in the backyard is one of the best moments you will ever have. It’s when you realize that growing a little garden, watching the tender shoots bloom and offer their very best fruits because you loved them just right is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
When does that happen? 32? 40? 55?
Some people never get there. For me, it was 36 -- the past year. After everything in my life changed, completely and irrevocably. Divorce, my concept of family, my safe haven of home, financial stability -- all rewritten. And what is left is the peace of knowing that all those things come and go in different forms.
To be loved is to love first.
Good is sitting on the porch in the sun watching my son play in the yard … of a rental house, or the park, or finally, backyard of our house.
It’s being there, switch on.
