I've had a heart-warming reaction to today's news from many people. Many thanks to everyone for your thoughts.
In some ways it is a funny thing but I was quite stoical about it. Of course I am happy, given the alternative, but it is a significant step on a longer path.
What is pleasing is that the pathway is unfolding and some of the doubts are being removed.
I am in a content frame of mind and Kitten is overjoyed with her new bedroom cupboard. There is still one to go (but I will let her explain that to you). Many thanks to to Fred and Barney for their efforts.
So, "soulful" best describes how I am feeling. For me this is a journey; a marathon not a sprint and a time to reflect after clearing the first hurdle.
The whole experience, is extremely humbling and accepting it is the biggest part of starting the recovery process.
Here's an old ditty of mine that sums it up.
Moments of Reflection
The water's edge caressed my feet
I asked it why our "souls" should meet
It jigged its own suggestive dance
And threw the sun unto my glance
There was no need to ask again
It took away my heart-felt pain
It said
"Relax and play like me
My light is there for all to see"
Two weeks ago I measured both the alcoves in our bedroom; I measured top, middle and bottom taking into account the all important skirting board.
ReplyDeleteI ordered the two free standing clothes homes from the well known Swedish meat ball shop. They were delivered on saturday and tonight was the night. I was so excited, happy clapping my way around the mundane chores.
I've been patient, very patient; 8 years of waiting for a wardrobe I can call my own. They were to be matching his 'n' hers (ah!).
And then it happened.
Someone moved the alcove wall. Someone made the bottom part of the wall narrower than the top. I don't know how they did it without my noticing or when. They just did it and in the last two weeks.
I'm sorry to say I have my suspicions regarding the culprit. Was it really necessary to make the chimney breast larger than it was in order to accommodate 'The Beast'? AKA flat screen, shiny thing with moving pictures!
Hmm!
"Needs must when the Devil rides", babe.
