Last Few Days In This Beloved Abode

By
We are leaving. Really leaving. It's sad and heartbreaking but we have had enough time to face this devil. Maybe it's not even a devil. It's just a transition to something else, be it good or bad. But it's one thing for sure: growth and expansion.

You know how some brides and grooms have running-away thoughts before their wedding day? Yeah, I am facing them right now. 

I have doubts that we will be comfy in the new place, that I made a big mistake, and that I should have rented a condo instead. But you know what? What's done is done. I only have to face the consequences of my decisions and go with the flow, fix what needs fixing and make sure we can fit in as quickly as possible.

Yes, there's much to be done and it's going to take time and money but it's all going to be ok. We just need to slowly adjust to the new circumstances.

This is not the first time I've moved home. But it's the first time we are moving as three grown people. Back then, my kids had not much say and don't really have an opinion. Now it's different. What they think and need is different now than before.

It's not easy and I hope we will be able to quickly and as seamlessly as possible adjust to what's ahead of us because, like it or not, it's ahead of us.

A Sweet Life

By
Bad news comes along everyday but last year alone, quite a few bad news struck me. The timing was like a mechanical pendulum. I thought to myself several times that I had enough, that what I needed was a break. A 10 day retreat where I am required to speak to no one, do nothing, listen to silence and nature and just be what I am meant to be.  But real life is not something you can escape for a long period of time. I served my silence....but reality will pendulum-swing back. A friend passed away after being in a coma for a few months. I know both husband and wife and they've always been really positive about handling the toughest of life situations. We may not agree with everything, but we do agree on many. During the time she was unconscious, I prayed every single day. I kid you not.  Her husband would report about her condition, good or bad, and I would either offer thanks or pray for good news and strength. Even during the worst hit moments, I kept the posi...

Feeling a Little Better

By
After all that fighting with the first week of meds, I finally feel like I am slightly more human and I can even consume food without throwing up anymore! It's a big celebration at the dinner table, it's a big celebration in the room and it's also a big celebration on the inside of me.  Taking care of myself has never been as important as last month when the sickness took over every single aspect of my life, every second of my life, and every ounce of my energy. When you're well, it's OK to fight all the way to planet Pluto and back  because you have it together. But when you're sick, there's nothing more humbling than your body telling you that you absolutely CANNOT.  Being this way has everything to do with being a single mother. Being alone or lonely was never much of an option for me and that has to do with the way I was brought up and the way I grew up. I had to fasttrack a lot of things and many times, when I failed, I had to pick everything u...

Prompt - Describe My Favorite Drink

By
Favorite drink? Non-alcoholic? Lol. Coffee because of its aroma and it is an added bonus that it wakes me up (before I go-go) and at this point in time, I try to stay away from Starbucks because it ain't cheap and it is basically sugar-in-a-cup, that stuff. I am continually in love with my three-in-one, yes, boring but faithful. And everyone should be in love with coffee, in my personal opinion. But that is just me. XOXO Marsha
