It's Been a While

 Welp, as my previous post says...Time Flies...

It is now October.  I think it's my favorite month.  Time to slow down like Mother Nature and just breathe the cooler air.  Stop and watch the leaves change and fall to the ground.  Time to reflect and renew. 

The fog that has been living with me and in my head is lifting.  Not that I have been in the serious dumps or anything but I do feel "lighter" if you know what I mean.  These last few years have been a bit much. 

Losing mom, clearing out her house, nearly losing my dad twice (!) b/c of his own depression and pity party, losing a relationship, overwhelmed with a lot of things...feeling helpless, feeling down, struggling to move through this phase of my Life.  

And I am moving through rather fine these days.  I've been getting crafty again.  Hanging up photos and creating a new wall of my crazy things.  Getting to know one of my newer neighbors who brings me some of her Thai food that she makes.  YUM!!!!  

 

It's a window's  open kind of day while I listen to music and I await the house cleaners to come and do what I absolutely loathe to do~clean.  At least the floors and bathrooms.  That kind of help has helped my mentality too.  So worth it.  

 

I am finding my happiness again.  And that is a really good feeling.  Especially now that Fall is waving her colors and breezes around to blow all the negativity and anguish away from my bubble. 

 

I hope your Fall season will be joyful and peaceful.  Not sure how kind Old Man Winter will be....hopefully he will be gentle.  

 

Until next time...elizinashe

Time Flies....

Tomorrow is Mom’s Birthday. 

I just realized it when I looked at my calendar. 

 I never really know what day it is anyway but it’s hitting me a bit. I’m not upset or anything…just remembering. 

 Mom left this Earth five years ago this past May. Can’t believe it’s been that long. And I still have crap loads of her stuff in my room and in the basement. 

Mostly pictures, letters, junk jewelry and tons of king sized bedding in the basement that is too big for my washer to wash. Plus I just don’t want to do it. Hell…I haven’t washed my sweaters or winter jacket yet! I’m just not in the mood. 

 Still have a large collection of the Milk Glass dish ware that she loved so much. Hard to get rid of~too collectable to just “give away”. But nobody is buying this sort of thing these days. It comes in waves. 

Wish me luck in getting it counted, cleaned and sold in one big lot. I don’t want it. What am I going to do with all of this stuff as I get older? 

 I certainly don’t need to decide now but….I need guidance for sure. In the meantime I will just go about my day, do my thing for tomorrow and take it all in small steps. That is the only thing I know what to do. 

Until next time…elizinashe.

Piddling Around

Not much to say really~just passing the time. My mind keeps me busy sometimes and it's hard to gain my focus. Adult ADD anyone? Got too much to do this week, just trying to take it slow and one step at a time. I hate feeling rushed. I need some time away for sure. Wish me luck on that! I certainly need to schedule that instead of procrastinating. So what's in your wallet? Do I still have readers? If so give me a shout! Until next time...elizinashe

Is Anybody Out There?

 Did that make you think of Pink Floyd? 

Haha...can't believe it's been so long since I have last written on this thing. 

 

I still write though, I just don't post the stuff I have been writing.  I guess I am going in a different direction these days.  Thoughts, frustrations, anger, sadness and joy that swirls in my head.  

 

Do I really want to show that side of myself?  Do I really have any readers left?  Do people still "blog"?

 

It's a cold and very windy day here~so I have fired up the Crock Pot and I am hermitting inside my humble home listening to music.  Procrastinating laundry and cleaning off my kitchen table.  It's a low energy low goal oriented day.  And that's okay.  

 

Hope you are all safe and warm out there!  

 

I'll try and do better on this thing.  Until next time...elizinashe
