What didn't...

last year I was just so grateful to be home with my family. This year, my family was so grateful I was home with them. This was the year they truly felt I was home for good and not the wandering soul I have been for a decade. We have grown so strong as a unit and they gushed all over me. And it was such a simple easy holiday. Impromptu visits, suprise gifts, new exciting types of cookies, all the old favorite traditional cookies, children laughing until they fell asleep on the floor, all the puppies together that belong to the family....oh my....it was so so so wonderful....
I am home. I HAVE a home. And there really is no place like home,... |
I was brought and unexpected bit of joy today... I had forgotten how much I enjoyed some of the little things in life. A walk through a quiet neighborhood, time for myself to read, and sketch, no expectation, no demands on my time. I love myself, there are little things I enjoy, I don't have to be what everyone thinks I should be... So why do I try so hard to conform. Maybe its time to change that. I can live the life I want and do the things I love. There is nothing wrong with that. I can embrace what I am, and there is no shame in admitting to the things I can not do. I don't have to be superwoman, I just have to be true to myself. There is great joy in that knowledge.

I went grocery shopping today to the "good" grocery store (aka the gourmet one) and then to Cost Plus for wine shopping after planning my vacation cooking extravaganza.
I love to cook and am planning on taking advantage of my vacation to do just that. My neighbors and friends are gonna have a good food week! |
my daughter called me for advice today, and help. Her sister from her father's second marriage is a troubled teen. That mother wants the girl to get out. My daughter asked me if I would take her in.
oh lord. A teen? I am still pondering this... but the joy is over my daughter who, two years ago after I relapsed, didnt want to be part of my life, was asking me to take in her sister. Life changes when you stick around and do the foot work... |

re: PNW....
I'll be honest....I miss smelling the scent of the rain....Yeah, it's cloudy most of the year...Yeah, there is the rainy season( even though most folks think it rains in Seattle 100% of the time)....But it was such a beautiful state. I miss the drives through the Olympic forest area...The horseback rides on the ocean...The lakes, Puget Sound...I like Portland too, but it was too small of an area for me after living in Seattle...

Miss Pink trying to teach me, with my tone deaf ears and less than agile fingers, to play "Heart and Soul" with her on the piano...haven't laughed THAT hard in a few days!
|
coming home......yeah I'm pretty easily joyed
|
Getting a virtual card "just because" from a faraway friend-and finding just the right song to send back to her. Remembering that I'm another day closer to hitting the train to see her.
|
Text messages from someone who could very well become more than just a friend ~ time will tell, but I'm enjoying this very much :D
|
A phonecall and hearing her laugh.
