Tonight, DJ and I went out to fetch my Christmas tree.
I found the most perfect tree ever.
I named him Benjamin.
DJ said people don't name trees.
I danced ad giggled while the man in the tree lot prepared Benjamin to come home with us.
And then it happened. Something magical came over the night and when we looked into each other's eyes something appeared that I've never seen in our two and a half years together. Something magical. A secret wish on my heart that I've prayed for so long to be answered... and like magic, I blinked and it was there.
He probably doesn't even know it happened - given that it was my wish, my prayer. My magical secret.
All I know about life, I learned from love. Nothing makes sense, everything is silly and backwards, and you are never in charge of what comes next. But that's the best part. If you knew what was going to happen, there'd be no magic to speak of.
And tonight, my heart is filled with the glitter of a thousand stars. Tonight will be the night I tell my children and grandchildren about, years down the road. The moment I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I was exactly where I was meant to be in this universe... down to the very patch of asphalt I stood on. Imagine all those tiny rocks waiting hundred of years to be crushed and pressed down into tar to anxiously wait for their chance to witness that moment with me.
I bet those rocks were excited. But then again, I also give names to trees...
