My One-Year-in-Dubai Anniversary recently passed and somehow...somewhere...after a near year-full of wishin' and hopin' and dreamin' of the moment that I would be able to hand my final boarding pass from Dubai to San Diego to the Emirates cabin crew.........I'm still here.
Not only am I still here....but, I'm staying.
Not only am I staying.......
....but, I'm in love.
Two things I honestly thought would never happen. Not here...and not now. But here it is, here I am....and here HE is. Everything I thought I found in another person, that I now understand wasn't there at all. Not even a little bit. Everything I hoped for, but was so very surprised to find wrapped up in the person that it came in.
And my heart is happy....for the first time in approximately 4 years, give or take a few days....I'm really, really happy.
Thank God....
And while I'm at it, I'd like to also thank Him for star-kissed nights in the sand, whispered Hail Mary's in French, Jim Morrison's lyrical poeticism being sung in all the wrong keys, whiskey no-no's, dances in turquoise and quite possibly the cutest dimple-framed smile that there ever, ever was. Oh and "winters" that consist of flip flops, beach days and bathing suits.
It's really not so bad here after all.
