Today is
Summer Solstice and also a full moon (a strawberry moon), which hasn't happened
together since 1967 - how about that, maybe it is a sign since I closed escrow today
that this is really where I should be. When I looked at the house in April and
was standing in the front yard, a bald eagle flew right over me and I took that
as a sign to put in an offer.
On Summer
Solstice 26 years ago I was single (divorced) and not looking for a
relationship. I met my husband John that day and we were married for almost 24
years. We had a wonderful life with his 3 boys and then one tragic morning over
a year ago everything changed forever in an instant with him passing away.
Since then I
have been picking up the pieces. Death touches everyone, no one is exempt. I am
stronger, wiser, more positive and compassionate because of it. I have learned a
hard lesson about negative angry people, I surround myself with positive people and
count my blessings every day. When I think I have it bad, I know someone else
has it much worse.
This is the
start of the next chapter in my life, it was supposed to be our next chapter in
retirement, but the story ending is now changed. I am moving forward and re-writing the script
as I go and I think he would be OK with it. Sorry for the sadness, I just
wanted to give some background on why I am where I am in my life. I look forward to posting about my house, life
and adventures and I know in my heart of hearts that it is all going to be
alright. Thanks for reading!
"Count your blessings"
