Today I Fell In Love
Written on 1/15/10:
I fell in love today. No…unfortunately not with someone tall, dark, and handsome…but with my new apartment! It was pretty much love at first sight! As soon as we walked in with the first armloads of belongings, I felt at home!
My new home is spacious with high ceilings, a fireplace, terrific walk-in closet in the master bedroom, a laundry room with washer/dryer included, an inviting bathtub in the master bath, and much more! It made me so happy to have my family and a couple friends over to see it. Alissa, PJ, Bobby, Beth, Bayley, and Makayla were here. Jimmy Frain came by, as did Mary Kay. Pam was with me all afternoon helping pack up, organize, and unpack on this end. It was such fun sitting on the floor talking, eating, sharing stories, and laughing.
After everyone had gone, Pam and I drove to get my TV and DVR, as well as a few more odds and ends. By 1:00 a.m. I was all alone, and it felt so right to be here! I sat in my grandma’s antique rocker in my bedroom and felt at peace for the first time in a very, very long time.
Tomorrow I will get up to a glorious new day with more unpacking, moving, and organizing to do. But it makes me feel alive and free and is something wonderfully positive to focus on. Tomorrow will be my first full day of being on my own and the second full day of being aware of my cancer. I can honestly say that the joy of settling into my new place will far out shadow the apprehension of dealing with my health issue tomorrow. Since all I am really guaranteed is this moment, I am going to revel in it as I turn on soft music for unwinding, slip under the covers, and go to sleep looking forward to a bright tomorrow!
