Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world.......Took the midnight train, boat, ferry, plane, or rental car..... going anywhere, because she wanted to see the world.....So where does one begin?.....
Every now and then, we are fortunate enough to have someone come into our lives when we least expect them to and set us back, I mean they really knock our socks off, and....they throw a monkey wrench right into our perfect plans that we had mapped out for months, if not longer and within a matter of months, we find ourselves looking at our life/lifestyles in an entirely new perspective.
I consider myself a very friendly, outgoing and most content woman.....but a woman who was on a designated mission to move closer to home to a city where she was born because it wasn't at all a big city and she wouldn't get lost in the hustle and bustle there, rather, she'd run her businesses, look after her family and enjoy life building her small empire with no distractions. Time on her hands to visit shipping companies and warehouses, meet with new and some current manufactures, line up new partnerships with boutiques and small businesses, and hire staff that would allow her company to expand at a rate that she had planned almost to the "T" ........Well, that was the plan a few months ago......but always on the "back burner".....somehow, she never stopped believing.....that one day when she wasn't looking, something grander would happen to her that would be so unforgettable.....so change of life factor....but what?
Last fall, while visiting with her parents and discussing old times on an old street, the neighborhood she grew up in, she started bringing up friends and old neighbors from her past and wondering "where are they now?" She quickly got onto Face Book and began typing in names and sure enough she found so many old friends that she attended school with, friends that lived there and moved away, and even a few people that she babysat for long, long ago......
She began talking to someone shortly after she wrote him to see if he was the same person by some slight chance that she used to care for, watching he and his little brother, played games with, built things with Lego's....read stories to, tuck in at night, let us not forget chasing them around the house to brush teeth....,Yes,this....some 35 years ago! Wouldn't you know, it was one in the same? Honestly, what were the odds? And.......how awesomely great were the odds that he too was divorced for the past several years and had never really experienced the kind of true love from fairy tales, those same fairy tales that this particular Cinderella believed in and had also hoped for as long as she could remember? They say that things happen for a reason and that what is meant to be will be.....this was just too weird, or was it? How could it be that our paths crossed several years ago, and now, we were destine or so it seemed to come together and reunite yet once again...could this be the last union of these two? Could it be their first last kiss/last first kiss and everything in between? What would the chances be of after living in two opposite areas, he never having left the city/town he was raised in and she having lived and traveled the world and experienced cultures that small town'ers knew nothing about come together?
My grandmother always used to say "Things happen when you least expect them to" and ......."Don't look a gift horse in the mouth!".....so we won't. Two paths are about to meet head on shortly and although this woman bubbling with such anticipation and happiness, who is so "not" used to having her world jolted and her bubble burst, is terrified that once again, that this too shall pass and an opportunity will be lost.......what? Oh hell no. Is her Prince Charming really a man dressed in yellow and black, a man with younger children, who has a job that he likes, a house that he keeps up well, a man with a heart of gold, a handy dandy man who can rip out floors, tear up carpets, put furniture together and misses grocery shopping with someone, take Sunday drives and is caring and giving of himself? YES HE IS, and I was fortunate enough to have found him and after all these years, I don't plan on letting this one get away! Seriously, I've been hit hard....never in a million years did I think that something of this nature, or this magnitude would attack me,....sad as it is true, I am weak in the knees, and I see now, after all of these years,....the Ice Princess,...is melting! That guard wall that she build so high around her was beginning to crumble down, all because of one man. Those barriers that were formed to protect her heart were now nothing more than jello walls waiting to endure this next chapter in her life where she comes home to not only her prince, but to her far away castle in a kingdom of hope,.... where dreams and fairy tales really do come true!
Did this gal wait most all of her life to find that one man who could make her dreams come true, who could care for her and respect her, could make her laugh and cry (good tears) do silly things, allow her to be herself, moonwalk in public (well maybe not really in public,) march to the beat of her own drum, and eventually if all circumstances fell into place maybe, just maybe...... find love? You bet she did, because that stubborn, sassy, sensual, soft spoken lady always held out hoping that somewhere out there he would be.....Well stranger things have happened.......
Is her Prince suppose to look like the "Prince of Darkness..." a little rough around the edges, razor sharp, spiked wigs and painted faces, or the "Sir Elton John" look gone bad rooting for a team that she has only until recently had a zero tolerance level for,....now finds herself learning their roster? The things that we don't do for those that we care about.....Journey said it best....."Don't stop... believin' hold on to that feeling...." besides, whats not to love about this?....and who wouldn't want to bring him home to meet mama? The only thng left to ask now is; "Is he the one?"
