Monday Morning

I slept an hour late this morning.  My body is tired and sore, from the work I did yesterday.  My shoulders, and my neck, from working at the high places on the house.  It’s a good thing I don’t have to be at work until 10:30.  I’ll still be early.

Things are shaping up though.  Next weekend will be final cleanup for the pictures, then the pictures, then the house will be listed.  Every day, I say, “Please universe, let it sell quickly and easily.”  A sale without drama.  A move that goes easily.

One of my girlfriends is offering to drive to Florida with me when I make the final move, and she’ll fly back home.  I’m so grateful, I didn’t want to make that trip alone.  She is one of my best oldest friends, a member of my book club.  We share old memories, and we share a common core of beliefs.  And she’s funny.  So I know we’ll be laughing all the way there.  Maybe we’ll stop in VA and see my newly married niece and her hubby.

Maybe we’ll stop and see Laurel…:)

Once I finish the house, I need to draw the rooms to scale and make cut-outs of my furniture to scale and see if I can make fit the things I want to take.

A friend from upstate New York is coming to visit me next month.  That will be something to look forward to.  Another of the friends I’ve had since I was 12 or 13.

I love the idea that in a few months, I may be riding my bike to the beach in the early morning, to see the sunrise.

My life is rich and full.  I am so blessed, so grateful.  The trials I’ve had make the joy all the more.  One of those tests on FB was to find out what my soul’s symbol is.  Mine turned out to be the Yin Yan sign.  It said, that I see the dual powers of good and bad.  And while I do still believe that love is the only real power in the universe, I do know that you cannot know the light if you have never known the darkness.  And you cannot understand the darkness if you have never known the light.  I have seen both, I have felt both.

So, today, Onward.  Just onward.

  1. Glad that everything is progressing towards the goal! 🙂 I can not hide the fact that I am SO jealous! I want to retire in Florida too, naaaaaauuuw…! Ahem. I do not have the money for that but if I did, I’d retire tomorrow. Perhaps I would live a bit in the Carribbean though.. Lol. Silly dreams are nice too! 🙂

    • Florida is not that expensive right now. Especially if you’re willing to be inland a little ways. A grind of mine bought a house in Kissimmee outside Orlando, 3 bdr, 2 bath, garage, screened in lanai, and it’s beautiful. Fairly new. Kitchen is gorgeous. 1400 sq ft. For $43,000. You couldn’t buy a shed here for that, lol. It would be cool if you did retire there!!! We could party!!!
