I had a great conversation this morning with Libby. I told her about my week in Seattle and that I'm feeling like things are looking up for me. "I've got a great new work assignment, I'll get to hang out with my friends and family and I'm really getting to know my neighbor Conda...and she is fabulous!" I told her. "I can just feel it in my bones that things are going to start going well for me from now on. "
We wrapped up our phone call and I got busy. First I unpacked and did some laundry. Then I went through my magazines and put a bunch of them in a bag to donate. I've got a bit of a "magazine addiction" and I've decided it's time to try and break that habit. I also grabbed a huge bag of clothes and put it in the back of my car. Before I left for Seattle I had tackled Kenny's closet. Yes, I finally started the tough ritual of sorting through his clothes. Still couldn't part with most of his shirts...but did let go of a lot of pants and jeans. One step at a time. At any rate, I took the bag with me this morning to the local woman's charity. I dropped off the donation and low and behold there was a hair salon right next door, so I gave them my bag-full of magazines. They were especially thrilled to get the old fishing magazines. Said that guys are always complaining about not having anything for them to read.
Next stop, nail salon. I got a quick manicure and while I was there a customer said the State Farm around the corner was having a cookout. Free hot dogs and drinks! You guessed it, I stopped there next and also learned that the auto glass place was fixing windshields today...for free. Coincidentally it's one of the things I had on my list to do today. I moved my car over there and in a matter of about 15 minutes, the rock hole in my windshield was fixed. Good as new! Now that's when I finally started thinking...positive manifestation!! Think of what you want and need and focus on that...and bingo! I called Libby and told her about my day. She couldn't believe it.
The rest of the afternoon--I will continue to work around the house to get things in order here. And later I have a dinner date downtown...it's a "blind date." I am also manifesting that one as well: kind, generous, smart, engaging, financially sound, handsome, considerate, happy, adventurous!! I'll let you know tomorrow how that worked for me! Wish me luck!
And one last thing...some may think dating is a bit too soon for me. It's been nearly a year since Kenny died. And I've come to the conclusion that as much as I would will him back today...if I possibly could...I know that's impossible. And what I also know is what I learned from Kenny...that life is precious and continues to tick away for us all. We must enjoy every single day as a gift not to be wasted. One of the last very sweet things Kenny said to me before he died is "Lucy I want you to go on and enjoy your life." So with Ken's blessing even though it's hard, that's what I intend to do. I simply don't do "lonely" well...
