Elevator Ride
Submitted by Lynn on Mon, 01/28/2008 - 8:39pm.
Goin’up; 1) I reflect on how wonderfully peaceful my life is today as compared to 18 months ago. I sit in my home by myself enjoying my surroundings, knowing I am in complete control of my world. I know I have the power to remove anything or anyone who interferes with my well being. 2) I do all the things I was told I could not do, for whatever reason???? Last week I moved a cord of firewood and made room for another some friends delivered. Then I learned how to split it…I only had one moment of concern (for me and my friend I called for technical advice)…”what does it mean when the splitting mall bounces off the round?” My friends are always eager to come to rescue me, but I made it clear I needed to do this for me.
Do Unto Others

In August 2007 my very close friend moved to a warmer climate. This idea was presented to her by her husband of 30 years. They made the decision due to her health issues and the warm weather would help her pain. She moved from her 3000sf home to a condo of 900sf and furnished it with castoffs from their family home, because this was only “temporary” until he retired and moved there in a few years. He told her he would come down for long weekends and she would come home on holidays. At Thanksgiving, he went for a scheduled visit to celebrate the holiday but instead told her he had found someone new.
