living my life!
Permalink  

Well I haven't posted in a while, I have been very busy making changes that are best for me! I think for the first time in my life I am getting to know who I am and what I want. I have become very uncomfortable with old behaviors, I can't do it anymore, I don't want to do it anymore. I am growing and changing a lot and a lot of family members are still stuck in sickness and I can't be a part of it.So, I did take my leave of absence from school, I found a car, and I am moving into a beautiful apartment on Tuesday. It suits me and my financial situation perfectly. It all came together very easily and I just let it happen. Now my daughter and her boyfriend are taking over this place and will have to be financially responsible. I was paying everything,( yes, I know,) but I had to learn. Basically her boyfriend has been staying here with no job and hasn't been contributing at all. I gave plenty of notice and here we are about at moving day and he still isn't working and that isn't my problem, isn't that great to really get where you are no longer responsible for other people's choices.Anyway I am so excited about moving and yes, I have my bubble bath and candles ready and i am going to enjoy my own space.

Been thinking about you Mary,
You sound great. I am so happy
Things are going well and all the
Positives going on.

I love my new apt, i like coming
Home to it after working. I did not
Even take that much stuff. I have
Borrowed, Gotten, gathered and
just kept it simple.

Big warm loving hugs

((((( mary)))

(((Mary))) - it sounds so lovely!!! May your move go smoothly and you have tons of peace in your new digs!

I am a slow learner at times, but tend to be grateful that I am still humble enough to learn.

Let us know how it is - I am so excited for you!!
