Lady bug new beginnings

This morning I was stopped at a red light  on my way back from a client meeting and thinking about what to have for lunch. I know, deep, right?  When I glanced out the window, I saw this beautiful lady bug sitting on my rear view mirror. 

While watching her rest there, I remembered today is the four-month anniversary of my divorce.

When 2012 started, I never dreamed I'd be where I am today. Experienced the life I've lived in just a few months since this journey started. The discoveries, mistakes and fun. Most of all, I never imagined I'd have such good friends in my life now. I'm grateful and very lucky.

I felt a connection to the lady bug. I'm not sure when she joined the short journey we had together, but she traveled with me long enough to end up in a new place. 

Lady bugs have always fascinated me. Their bright-colored wing covers with the black spots are pretty but strong, and they can cling onto something as smooth as the review mirror on a moving car, and the wind never phases them. Then, when they're ready, they open up their pretty wing covers and fly away.

Okay, I'm assuming the lady bug is a she, and I hope she ended up in a good place.

Love to the single girls,
Addison
