Come Fly in July! ~ on AF wings
Good morning...
Well, an eventful few days for me. Really eventful. I was offered the job I wanted most of all. A bit of a career change, and a challenge. It was an intensive all day interview, presentation, etc., but I did it and after the background check will get the official offer. I am just stunned, so pleased, scared, happy, and continuing to focus on positive outcomes.
We had an offer on our house yesterday, and I will accept it today. So, with all things working towards a fast and easy move, things are progressing rapidly. Of course there are contingencies, but I choose to believe they will all be met successfully and easily.
Cyn, we are looking at an apartment, and they want tons of info, some of which I cannot supply that easily, so will continue to work on it. It was interesting that you mentioned this, as I am currently experiencing what you described. Proof of income, credit check, background check, etc. Good grief, yet it may help to get a nicer, safer place to live for a year or so. Just lots of work and you better have your life in order. I wonder what people do who have a checkered past. Are you destined to never live anywhere? I don't know. Keep on sending that positive energy.
Dill, I know what you mean getting rid of things. We give them meaning, putting our memories and emotional meaning into them. The reality for me is that I have the memories for free, kept inside of my heart and head. Yet it is still hard. More of that this week for me. My kids feel the same way, they want pictures, and other things, yet just don't have the room. My son took a box of pictures and said, "I'll put them in my closet." Great, from my basement to his closet. That tells me that we just need to toss them, sad as it may be. We will need room for the new pictures of our grandson. But those will be digitial, easier to store. I think.
Good luck on your decluttering. It is funny how we are all experiencing letting go at this time in our lives. Did you finish the book about the saints and what did you think of it? Book club summary please.
Lav, a granny condo sounds great. I love the outdoors, but just don't have the energy anymore. I thought I would be happy with some potted plants on a balcony or deck. A friend of mine told of her mother who won't let go of her house, and her house and yard are just falling apart. I think it is good to realize where you are in your life, gracefully accept it, and move on. It is sad in some ways, yet it can be so much easier to move forward and let go. I am thinking and working on acceptance. Some days are better than others. Hey, the weather here is perfect, I am loving it. I am sending it your way. Low 70s daytime, low 50s at night.
Work today, then more clean up. I forgot to mention I spent the night at my daughter's and offered to take care of the baby all night so she could sleep. The longest I slept was three hours straight through. I was so tired yesterday it was unbelievable. We are building memories, and she was able to rest. It brought back memories of sleep deprivation from years back.
Have a terrific Thursday.
