Shutterbugmama's Journal

I've tried to be quiet; It's impossible.

I swear, "divine intervention" is the only way I can explain the day.  It was down to the WIRE, in every way; I had deadlines for work, I had Dr. appts. to be at, and I had papers to sign and money to hand over for my New Home.

All of it is COMPLETE....work is complete, and all deadlines were met.  I went to my Dr. Appts. and feel really good, and only had to pay $2 to park today (WOOHOO!!!), and those papers are signed, the money has been paid, and the deal is DONE.

I purchased a second home...I have about a month to transistion, and prepare the house Im livning in for the renters.  I feel so....grown up.

And responsible.

When I'm out of chips and diet coke, NO ONE will come get these kids.  They're here to stay.

And if I get lazy, no one will pay the bills for me.....

Holy cow!  This is GREAT!

And I can eat dessert before dinner, just to make certain I have enough room, and I can eat crackers in bed, and I can talk on the phone as long as I want to, and I can wear whatever I want to, and I can have a boy sleep over.

YEEHAW!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can go where I want to, live where I want to, and create whatever life I want to create for myself....

I love this!

I love being grown up!

Blessings, yes, of course...I'm ever so grateful for

1.

My New Home. 

 The neighbors I've yet to know, and for the friends my children are yet to meet.  Adventures are waiting; LOVE is waiting.

2.

The Pool...

After having Melanoma, I swore I'd never own a house with the pool...but the thought of a moonlit swim on a warm and starry night sounded heavenly.

And the Childproof Locked Safety Cover was an added bonus in a BIG way.

I do believe we've finally got the ULTIMATE party house.

(Lets get some type of Party Planning Committee going right NOW, yeah???)

I love parties.  I'll throw a party for just about any reason...

The Full Moon Party was a fun one, and the 80's White Trash Blast from the Past Bash was a great time!  Our Cinco De Mayo Fiesta's used to be a real treat, until we started hosting our Annual Halloween Haunt!

Yep, we party.

Any reason.

Gosh, it's been a long time.  I need to have a party.

We'll call it the "It's Been Way Too Long" Party! 

 I tell you, ANY reason.

3.

I'm grateful to feel certain that I am not alone in walking this Life Path.  I feel blessed to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we each have a unique purpose, and I see, feel, and UNDERSTAND that we are all, each one of us, are connected at the heart.

There is a familiarity with one another that stems from the exact center of our souls. 

4.

I feel blessed to have a bag of dog food in my trunk.  DH thinks we're out and that he'll need to go to the market, but I get to share the good news.

(Intermission)

5.

He loved the good news.

good

6.

 When I sat and let GO; when I let the dirt settle, and allowed the muddy waters to clear, the answers, it tuned out, had been right in front of me all along. 

I just needed to be still.

Count your blessings, Beautiful Souls.  They are all there FOR YOU, because YOU are divine.
