Trust Your Gut

---

​This old gal…

Couldn’t help but notice the moon one middle of the night during catnoodling…

Full, bright, surrounded by rapidly moving clouds…eerie in a way, yet beautiful…brought back memories…memories from a lifetime ago…

Single me…navigating life…learning how to date again…it had been years…like a gazillion years…had been seeing someone long distance for awhile…quite awhile…

Was outside chatting on the phone…one of us commenting on the moon…the miles between us yet we see the same moon…blah blah blah…smarmy blarmy…

There was agreement…the yea-just-you -and-me kind of agreement…just you and me and apparently a buttload of other me’s…in other towns…looking at the same old moon with the same old you…

Not gonna say it was a big surprise…not that it didn’t hurt…not that it wasn’t humiliating…but sometimes it takes a heart time to see what it needs to see…

And so it is…in life…trust your gut…if it doesn’t feel right…it’s not…

Trust your friends…if they have doubts…listen…

Trust your family…and if they say it’s not for you, then you say…

Goodnight moon…and put your little heart to rest…

Because when it’s right…you’ll know…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
