I wanted to share something happy and uplifting and less "curious" than my last post.
Several weeks ago my AH and I were scrambling to find a new home. Two offers fell through last minute and we had no where to go. I mean truthfully couldn't even find an apartment. On fathers day my dad mentioned there was a house for rent up the street. I rolled my eyes thinking " I ran screaming from this house at 17 to be free of co-dependant mom and dry drunk dad and you're insane if you think I'm moving my ( just as dysfunctional ) family back to this street!"
Instead of voicing that I smiled and let go and let God. A few days later I drove by it and realized what a beautiful view it had - I mean really stunning view of the water. How had I missed that? I called and walked through.
We moved in on my 40th birthday.
So here we all are - my family and me and my family of origin, back to the precise place where my life began 40 years ago.
Now....How on earth am I going to stay on my side of the street when we ALL live here? LOL
Great place to use your new alanon tools of detachment, one day at time and staying in your own hula hoop . The place sounds lovely and I am happy that you decided to move in. Many positive thoughts on the way
Thank you both - yes a challenge that I think HP is ready to support me through. And Betty - I think a purchase of said hula hoop is in order! Great reminder ;)
LOL for sure...Got me good as I suspect HP works like that all the time so outside our normal expectations. Have a great life ledfoot sit in a spot where the view is awesome and smile ((((good for you)))) hugs
) family back to this street!"
