Chit Chat

I'm the girl that needs to have her girlfriends.

I need that mindless chit chat over cocktails or coffee.

I need to know the latest gossip and who's dating who.

At least I used to be that girl.

As time goes on,

I find my priorities are shifting.

My friendships and relationships with the girls drifting a bit.

Maybe it's because we are all at different places in our lives,

or the fact that I'm much more settled than my friends. 

I no longer dream of Thursday happy hours with the girls.

Or need to know the latest gossip,

or want to hear about who wronged who.

I'm not sure where the shift occurred.

Maybe when I became a mother.

Between the exhaustion I faced and the deep love I felt for my son,

the gossip and drama just wasn't exciting anymore.

Don't get me wrong,

I still enjoy the occasional glass of wine with the ladies.

But where I'm most happiest is at home,

with my husband to be,

and my son.

And yes,

wine is still a love in my life.

Just with a little less drama.

I think I'm finally at a point in my life,

where I can look inside,

and say I'm supremely happy and comfortable in my life.

And that my friends is an accomplishment in itself.
