I don't know if it's good or not but it is one more thing to check off the list. I signed all of the papers at the attorney's office today. Everything needed to be redone because of my husband's passing and I think they are all back in order now.

Today I stepped away from my grief to see needs in others. I helped a man with limited vision and assisted a group of people who were lost in a garden. When I got home I contacted a family member for a chat. I am celebrating positive human contact!

Hallelujah! I'm still dealing with banking issues. The new branch contact didn't respond to my phone message yesterday. The person that answered the 800 number yesterday tried but couldn't help me. That person did however, put in an order for another department to assist me and lo and behold I just looked online and my problem has been resolved! Hurray!!

Just saw my 1st butterfly for this year!!! ๐๐ฅณ
A beautiful yellow one.
Reminded me that in OUR HEALING JOURNEY, like the butterflies - WE have our time of "stepping away" while we figure stuff out, then EMERGE as one AWESOME and beautiful person.
Use those WINGS to fly....๐ฆ

Lol, it just popped into my stressed out brain that life has been SETTING me up for what I am BELIEVING for to arrive! ๐ I have been too busy FOCUSING on this week's drama. But I am getting better at "flipping" that switch. ๐ (1) GRATEFUL for my apartment Property Manager who is also in his 60's for letting me stay "in spite" off all my complaints. He UNDERSTANDS dealing with "disrespectful" youngsters will set off any oldster. Oh yes, I have gone off several times in frustration. But will SOON be in my SMALL COTTAGE IN FLORIDA... It is on its way! ๐ฅณ๐ (2) GRATEFUL for my neighbor, in her 40's who has my name. Lol, we just yelled hello at each other much to my Neighbor From H..ell's dismay who feels she owns the apartment complex. ๐คฃ๐ Says we are too loud. My namesake has a PASSION for life, ALWAYS happy. My inspiration to do the same.

In the midst of this horrible week Iโm having (posted under challenge thread) I found out that my bff since 4th grade is moving back to PA this summer. She had moved 8 hours away in 2021 and weโve only seen each other once since then. That absolutely made my day. It was so nice to feel happy about something in the midst of such a tough week!

I survived Publix, but it was a war zone out there today! Maybe these crazy winds have people in a tizzy. Blocking aisles with carts, making the cooler inaccessible while talking business on the phone, crowding the person in front of you in the checkout line, speeding through the parking lot....whew I'm glad to be home!

Was absolutely wiped out by a sinus attack yesterday...very odd for this time of year, they're usually a winter thing. Crashed early and slept soundly for about 11 hours. Woke up feeling great. Was feeling frisky at work all night...still feeling a bit frisky today.

(1 comment) THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS ๐๐ฅณ
Today at Walmart, a dad of a 2 year old plus some months (lol, forgot what dad told me) was so NICE to this "want-to-be" grandma ๐ (me, none as yet).
As I was exiting heading to parking lot, a CUTIE (boy) was in a cart being pushed by dad.
I said to the young fellow, so how old are you? Dad smiled and answered.
He then said to his son, do you see what she has on? I had my Mickey Mouse t-shirt on.
They had just come back from Disney in Florida. Told dad that is where I am headed to join my daughter.
I THANKED him for taking time out of his Walmart trip to chat.
I am so used to being "run over" by ADULTS in a "rush" - this man REMINDED me about what is important.
Making TIME for other people.
I am still SMILING from my experience. Cannot wait to have my 1st grandchild...

My front door lock wore out and I was afraid I would break my key off in it or it would just stop working at all. I called a handyman and followed his advice to go out and buy the hardware that was needed to replace the worn out pieces. He came out today, said I matched the pieces perfectly (so no new holes needed to be made and no door painting was needed) and installed everything. It is one more thing that I was able to do on my own!
