Things happen when they need to

Usually when I wake up in the morning I scroll through all the tweets I missed without really reading them. Not only did I go through each one this morning (I’m sure it was because coffee was still brewing) but I actually read each one. Before coffee!! HA!

Anyway, I found myself a little gem that will make a huge impact on my life. It was a quote. Not only was it exactly what I needed to hear, it was something I needed to believe. Sure, this divorce thing sucks. I’m selling the home I feel in love with without a future home (yet) in the future. I’m actually really trying to act normal as much as possible thinking it will help with the sadness and loss when really I want to curl up in bed and cry my eyes out for the next year with a good supply of kleenex. Can you imagine the monster of a headache you’d have after that? Whoa.

This came from Martin Allsop’s twitter page .. “We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us” – Joseph Campbell

Like I told my Mother, I want to get through this whole divorce, moving, etc. thing without any regrets which means I need to be unemotional for a moment to make rational thoughts. Good luck, right?

I was talking to Tiffany last night that I haven’t even heard from my in-laws in over a month. My Mother-in-law and I used to talk/email daily with lots of “I love you’s” and she would always start her letters with her nick name for me .. “Jenny Dear” .. it really hurts and makes me question the whole concept of “family” again. How can you love one of your family members one day, then never speak to them again? It just doesn’t make sense to me .. it just makes me sad, hurt, and in a way abandoned.

Moving forward .. the realtor will be out tomorrow to take pictures of our house and we’ll officially have it on the market with a virtual tour even, hurray!

Family is so important

Just saw a quote on the twitter page called InspirationDay that really makes a lot of sense right now.
“We only have ‘Now’ .. Tomorrow is never here, but what we do today affects our tomorrow”
I had dinner with my cousin and her family tonight. Her famous green chili stood up to it’s name. It was wonderful! I even got 2 hugs and a kiss from shy little Emily, Tina’s 3 year old daughter. I guess since being back here in Colorado, I never realized how much I missed my family and how so many years have gone by without any communication. Although there were reasons for that that are better not discussed here, I’m glad those reasons are no longer valid. To have such support here it’s hard to reason why I moved away in the first place where I didn’t know anyone.
It boggles my mind that I’ve been away 5 years. In such a short span of time, I have forgotten how to get around a town that I used to know like the back of my hand, or how to get to other towns I used to pass for a full year driving two and from college.
I went shopping for the odds and ends that I forgot in Georgia. Molly stayed with my Mother and Grandmother tonight while I went to Tina’s. This is the first time she’s stayed with someone else for an extended amount of time and she did great. Her potty training continues to go well. She now scratches at the back patio door when she wants out. I’m so proud of her. Seems like a lot of habits that I’d rather her not have disappeared when she got to Colorado. 
I installed a wireless router for Mom today so I could have internet without stealing the neighbors. The neighbors wireless went in and out so much and most of the time I would have to sit outside to get any sort of connection at all. Now that Mom has wireless I’m getting full bars even down in the basement.
Off to do some thinking now … or sleeping, or both.
