In the words of Grace Potter, are we falling or flying?

Music is a huge part of my life....I have a daily soundtrack running all the time.

I've often wondered about a common line or theme in songs....  "I can't help falling in love with you", "Why do fools fall in love?", "I'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride..."

Why do we say this....Why am I thinking this?  Because I think I'm falling in love again or maybe I should say I AM FLYING IN LOVE!  It feels like flying and giddy and heady and I'm laughing and smiling from head to toe.   I don't know about you people but the last time I fell down on the concrete at 48, it hurt....I scratched up my arm and leg and almost cried like a little girl.   This is not how I feel today.  

My friend Helene said flying feels more like a choice....I think it feels like I just leapt in the air and suddenly I'm flying and I couldn't believe it.....I also want to feel grounded, and I want to feel like I'm creating a nest of stability too....  I'm not that young anymore!  I don't want to just fly around all silly and not go to work (or do I???!!!).  Alas, I must be a grown up but darn if the flight doesn't make my stomach churn, head spin, and I want to do it every morning when I get up....even at 5am.

Maybe it's because I had sworn off love, decided I would throw in the towel (my friends all nodded that nod of we will agree with Amy and secretly know this is not going to happen).

Why not?  I'm built to fly in love and rest in a nest of peaceful solid love.  Most likely why birds are my favorite and dragonflies are my little fairies that land on my finger occasionally.

I think I have found it....maybe the Universe and God said....Amy needs a break, she's a funny one and works very hard.  Let's give her a solid.
