2 weeks yesterday since Brad came to live with us. I am happy to report that he and Greg get along as well as I had hoped!
Miss Petunia, the bedgraggled, gone to seed petunia plant I found in the dumpster, is thriving well on my front porch. She gets 2 good drinks of water every day. Most all the dead leaves have been removed, and she has new growth spurting out of her everywhere.
As I sit here this morning, there is a nice, cool breeze blowing in the window. I have some relaxing music on. Sipping my coffee, thinking my thoughts, watching the boys play...
It makes me so thankful for where I am in my life right now. So Thankful.
My big regret is that the part of my heart that lives far, far way isn't here for all of us to enjoy this time. I don't have anyone to do things with. I'd love to go to some thrift stores, or estate auctions, or street festivals...events, activities, and I know full well that I can go by myself, and I have before...but that just makes me feel alone, and vulnerable.
So, before I start winding my way down that rabbit hole, I will say that I am happy where I am, and with the reality of my life at this particular point in time.
Everything happens for a reason, and it all works out exactly as it is supposed to. I believe in that, and for the past couple of years it's been working out pretty well for me.
But, If I could have just one wish, it would be that my kids could "kiss and make up." I can't do it for them.
Not sure if anyone is reading this yet, if you are and want to leave me a comment, that'd be cool.
I think Greg is the only cat I know that doesn't seek out a patch in the sun. Brad sure does, though.
Play Nice!
xxoo
