Where We Are

I am trying to open up my arms and welcome 2013. I really am. But it is kind of kicking my ass. Not feeling 100% physically and on Friday our relationship with Audrey's long-time caregiver ended under less than rosy circumstances. I'm still grappling to understand what happened. But things unfold in weird and unexpected ways sometimes. I think the universe wants to change things up for me (even more). It is challenging me and showing me how strong I can be and need to be. Maybe that is one of the lessons in all this. So for now, I'm embracing change, looking at it as a gift, and concentrating on the future. And on making sure Audrey is ok through it all.

Last weekend we bowled with friends. It was Audrey's first time and it took her a while to acclimate to the noise but she finally got into it. She especially loved the cosmic bowl and was dancing by the end of the night. The roll of Oreos from the vending machine could have contributed to that burst of energy.

Meanwhile progress on the new house has been slower than I'd like, but our house hit the market today. Yeah, there's a lot going on. But life is good. Where we are.
