Whew, after a week in Southern California, I need to detox ... mentally, physically and emotionally. I've found another song that just rocks my soul; Superwoman by Alicia Keys ... I listened to it tonight after I ran at the Y and was in the sauna sweating away my stress ... the lyrics to the song are Divine ... the chorus says "Still when I'm a mess, I still put on a vest, with an S on my chest, Oh Yes, I'm a Superwoman" ... I could listen to it again and again ... I feel empowered.
I enjoyed our trip to California. I loved seeing my children run on the same sand that I did growing up, riding Small World with all the amazing Christmas decorations and watching my kids sing and dance in the little boat we were in, the fireworks over Sleeping Beauty's Castle set to music and just so exquisite, seeing friends that I miss with all my heart and their children ... blessings abound.
Staying with my inlaws for a week was difficult, so say the least. It is so weird to feel like an outsider, like I do not belong ... and I don't, it's just adjusting to that reality after knowing them for nearly 10 years. It is foreign to me, I have always belonged, I have never not felt involved or welcomed and to feel that way with my own "family" is hard. It's something I need to spend a lot of time in prayer about ... a lot of time, a lot of prayer ... I am Superwoman.
