Holy shit… This is it… It’s finally happened.
I think I can honestly say.. I am falling in love. It’s incredible. It’s been so long.. actually… no, it’s never happened before in my life.
Who? You must be wondering…is the lucky soul who caught my attention?
Well, I’ll tell you. The person I’m falling for… is ME.
Hehe. Ok – so maybe “falling in love” might be a weird way to put it. But it’s the truth! On St. Patty’s Day, I got the keys to my new place. The next day, Friday, the movers came to pack up all of mine and the kids stuff into the big truck and take it to our new house. I’ve officially been living there for 5 days and I can honestly say – it’s fricken amazing!
Ok yes, there have been a myriad of little problems pop up – but nothing completely unhandle-able. And yes, I may or may not have gotten a bit freaked out by a scary noise one evening when I was by myself. But hey – the cat’s likely enjoyed watching me sneak down the hallway in my pj’s, holding a sword that was entirely too heavy to be usable – going “Who’s there?!” lol. But these are the memories I can and will laugh at, when I look back at the whole house buying experience.
It’s only been a few days – but it’s already starting to come together and look like a home. A home I’m insanely proud of, and crave coming home to. I don’t think i’ve ever had that before. Where I truly crave just being there. It’s a foreign feeling to me, but it’s a darn good sign that I made the right choice.
This morning, I woke up, snuggled with my kids for a few minutes and then decided that after 4 days of wearing sweats and shirts with holes in them (moving is dirty stuff).. I put on a dress. I did my hair. I put on my makeup. And I strolled out of the house feeling like a million bucks. Life is damn good.
I may be fluffy, and I may be single… but damn… for the first time in my life… I love myself. And that’s an amazing thing.
Kisses to you Neverland. Much love.
I’m happy to hear things are going great for you and things are coming together.
That is a huge thing, to love yourself and everything around you! My mother, and a few other very smart souls, told me. “You can’t really love other’s, if you can’t love yourself.”
I think falling in love with oneself is something we should all learn to do. I like it!
