Life is complicated, but it is also wonderful if you let it.
I am dealing with some personal issues, but I am okay. It’s not something I can write about at the moment, maybe one day… It was a shock but I will recover and deal with the fallout. How can I not?
I had an awesome weekend, though! The weather was chilly on Saturday, but that didn’t stop Hubby and me from shopping! We had to get some things and nothing like walking around from one store to another. It was fun! It was beautiful weather!
Yesterday, hubby and I had the pleasure of going to my oldest son’s place for dinner. His birthday was last week! My children getting older, sometimes makes me feel old!! My son made the most awesome dinner of mac & cheese! They also got a new kitten! All black and so active, but she is also very sweet. It was a real pleasure to sit and chat with them for the evening. It was what I needed.
My son also gave me some really good advice. I love that I can talk to him about some of my struggles and not feel any shame or guilt. Over the past few years, our relationship has become very strong. He told me last night that he came to understand a long time ago that I am also a human being who makes mistakes like the rest of them. I am his Mom but I was a person first and looking at it that way, helps him gain a deeper understanding. I am so proud of him. He has grown into such a fantastic human being!
I have an exciting week ahead and an even more exciting weekend! I am hoping to get some answers this week.
I am off for a Retreat this weekend so won’t be home. I have joined up for the 2024 NL Cancer Conference for Women and I am excited to take it all in. I will be spending the weekend in a Hotel here with other women, taking in the presentations during the day on cancer treatments and recovery and socializing in the evenings. There is even a Gala on Saturday night with music and a fashion show, and I plan on having a wonderful time! I hope to make some new friends too!
My life is expanding and I am getting into new things… Since my multi-city trip from Sept 21-Oct 3, where I felt no fear at all even though I was by myself, my self-confidence has soared and I am not afraid to try new things anymore.
I plan on filling up my life with new experiences, new places, and new people. This Retreat is just the beginning of a new life for me…
