a new life

I woke up this morning. Unemployed. Wow. A little sad but with an overwhelming sense of calm. Thanks, God!

Today, I begin my new life. Complete, true, optimistic, bright, fun...and hopefully a little crafty.

I'm embracing the joy. Embracing my awesome family. Embracing picking up Young Boy from school this afternoon. Embracing my real friends. Embracing a bright, new, undiscovered future. Life is good.

Hmm...what to do now. Sit on the couch and enjoy a few bon-bons? Not a chance!

I added my favorite quote to my blog sidebar recently:

"Barn's burnt down.
Now I can see the moon." ~ Masahide

I just know you will enjoy your new life!

Life sure can toss us some challenging things in life. Sounds like you have lots of postive people in your life and a good support system and a good outlook on life.

Have a nice day. Enjoy...

How wonderful that you are remaining open to all the glorious possibilities that lay before you! Enjoy your precious time with family and let the rest take care of itself.

You've got so many fans in this world rooting for you...and so many other cool things you can do now. I love that quote that Zuzu left...couldn't be more true in times of transition.
And it may be passe, but I still really dig this song; nothing in this world is for certain and most disappointments turn out to be a surprise blessing! (Can you remind me that the next time I forget it?)

I hope this is good news. But your attitude is good and that's half the battle. Take advantage of this time at home with your family.

One of the best lines in the movie, City Slickers is, "now you get a do-over". You look like are already headed in that direction, I hope you will make it what you want it to be! You make such wonderfully fun things, I don't see how it could not! I hope you enjoy the direction you are headed in! :D

"When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us."

-- Alexander Graham Bell

You seem focused on the door that opens. Stay positive.

Maybe now we'll get to meet!
