It's alittle after noon here. My mind has covered a 5 year span in the last couple of hours. I have traveled back to where my troubles and heartache started, the fire.
In such a short time, 5 yrs ago, things/I have changed....pretty much alot! lol...weirded for sure! *wink
....blowing air....Today the courts washed my debts away. I tried to rebuild my life in a hand full of days after losing everything, with credit cards. Plus the hospital and fire department bills....i had no choice, sigh...but to go bankrupt. I am. Freed from financial burdens.
 
I have cried happy tears today. I "reviewed" the past 5 yrs, hey....they have changed me in ways that....well, in some ways it's, good. Now on the other hand it has weakened me....but that too will change *smile*
 
I have been distant from everyone these days. I had enough company and thrills for awhile. Needed some alone time. But i'm having a mighty good time. Still playing down by the river too.*smile* Trying so hard to get it right. I just got to walk the right path, this time! I feel i have a second chance.
 
So, i work hard, i focus on the future....where i'll be spending alot of time there too....yup, got to focus on my future life! :~) My ..."you pickem farm" lol.... one thing at a time!
 
These days i am outside doing my thing. Enjoy the fresh air and the wonderful warmth of the sun. All my flowers are full of seed-heads so the gathering has begun .... busy doing that. :~) My craft flowers are hanging everywhere, upside down in this cute little home of mine *smile* sooooo pretty.
 
My herb garden has been cut down twice, filling bottles, cans full of different dry herbs. Oh... the smells, i love it. The herb garden, right now is in full bloom. All the different kinds of butterflies that are flicking around .... i grab a chair and i watch. *smile*
 
My freezer is full of summer ... labor and sweat.. lol... It has been a trip. This garden has produced so much. Heck, i still have 10 eggplants hanging on, this one eggplant has given me over 20 purple wonders already. :~) good stuff....Went around with boxes of tomatoes and pepper, begging someone/anyone to take them off my hands. :~) blessed be!
 
I feel so free today, blest beyond my wildest hopes. *smile* I feel like dancing.lol. wow i can feel the heavy load just fall off my back. Seeing all the wonderful things happening for/to me.
.....maybe i can leave behind everything else that is dark too that came thru that day, 5 yrs ago. ....sigh   yup, it's time to let go!
 
Well, that is what is happening in my world. This old gal has a new beginning, starting today! *smile*
 
I wish you all a good day/night! I'm going to run the neighborhood now  ..... Putting my two cents in *smile*
Thanks for coming by. xo take care ~see ya

  • wombat said on Sep 11, 2009....

    Hope you made it to the river and enjoyed that sunset.  One of my favorite things to do!  And as one who has been down that same financial path several years ago....I remember that sigh of relief.

    Tipping glass to wish you a grand future with your new life and your lovely garden of gems.....

    Debt free and looking forward to a new grandbaby...what wonderful news, MeMy!  You're on your way to your new life, and I'm so happy for you.
  • Hegemone said on Sep 11, 2009....
    MMI, that's so wonderful that you're looking at this as a fresh, new beginning with such a positive, wonderful flair.  You do certainly have a lot of good things going in your life right now, and those gardens sound wonderful to look at.  Taking a good deep breath in your place must be nice.  :-)

  • Voltaire said on Sep 12, 2009....
    Howdy MMI,
    Well my travels led me to a small town, with people who aren't out much thats for sure! I spend most my time alone out in the forest. ,:)
    Except for other class mates that come and go.

    And please don't call me sir.. That sounds ridiculous.

    As for happy places, well yes otherwise I'll just have to "change the landscape" as you would with a garden... You get what you grow sort of. ;)

    Best Regards,
    Voltaire

  • Me-Myself&I said on Sep 13, 2009....

    Voltaire ~ lol.... don't call you sir. .... lol.... yes, sir! ;~) i'll say that to a little kid, it's just me. but i'll try to remember, try to honor your wishes. promise. *smile*

    i can spend all day in the woods, it's one of my past time i love the most. to make it perfect.... down in the woods by the river. now thats a wonderful time!

    well i hope you are doing fine and dandy. take care and glad to see you are still around. x ~see ya

  • Voltaire said on Sep 13, 2009....
    Thanks. ,:-)

    Yes especially with a open fire next to you, sitting there 'til it get's dark.
    That's the life. ;-)

    I'll try to come by every now and then.

    Regards,
    Voltaire
