Gift of Love – Nov 30

Thank you for your morning musings.  Sometimes they really come at just the right moment in my life.  Yesterday, I read ‘Gift of Love’ while in the kitchen getting ready for the day and I actually stopped to set my timer for 2 minutes, drink water, stare out the window, and praise God, right in the middle of reading it! (‘Cus you said to!)  Then I finished it and finished getting ready for the day.

I moved out of my “cocoon” yesterday.  It was my “post-separation/still-grieving-my-father/divorce-in-progress/solo-trip-to-Europe/quit-my-job/divorce-finalized/started-new-job/new-relationship/new-house” apartment. I had it for one year, Dec 2016-Nov 2017.  The stuff was already out and it had been cleaned, but yesterday I officially signed the papers and turned in the keys.

While inside, I took time to “bless” it — I prayed with thanksgiving, hope, admittance of being someone who hates taking a step without seeing the whole staircase, thanked it for being home for a bit, and bless it for the new person.

My current partner christened the place my “cocoon” because it wasn’t meant to be a forever home but a place to metamorphose.  Maybe I know what a caterpillar feels like while trying to change and grow and then come out all clumpy and wet (which is how I felt while moving things out over these past several weeks).  Now, as a butter”fly” I need to finally love myself and stretch those wings.

Using baby-steps, routines, and zone missions, I’m flying around a new home (and my partner appreciates you too!) with confidence!  Big weekend coming up, concerts we’re involved in, church, party for 15+ at my house (!), and I’m excited — not stressed!  My partner is a bit confused about the serving ware out on the dining room table with post-it note recipes on it already (“The party isn’t until Sunday, sweetie.”) but I know that those baby-steps will keep me cruising this weekend and throughout December.

I’m ready to FLY through a new month, new year, and beyond!!  THANK YOU!!
