The bright side

Well, the house only slightly smells like smoke now, and I almost don’t notice it, even when I’ve been outside for a while and walk back inside. Coolio. And I get to go to bed at a somewhat decent time tonight. Thank you, God. And thank you, God, for helping that get sorted out. And thank you, God, for giving us the tools and will and ability to work through all of this together, such that we leave a super sucky situation like last night actually in the past, complete, and step forward empowered together and individually in our relationships to ourselves and with one another. In gratitude, I pray. Amen.

Saturday

And then, just as you are about to watch a movie together for once, enjoying the evening spent relaxing together on the sofa, he tweaks his back and suddenly can’t move or breathe deeply without immense pain. And chiropractors aren’t open until Monday… At least we weren’t planning on getting a whole lot done tomorrow, almost all of which requires full physical movement abilities…oh, wait… yes, that’s exactly what we were planning to do…

Ugh…

Loving my man

“Blown away by your love 😘,” he writes, sending with it a photo of him next to the massive and awesome fan (which is turned on) that he bought last weekend and that I put together for him today as a bit of a surprise.

My mom and I both find it adorable and also hilarious and stupid, but mostly the first two.

My brother simply replies after a silent laugh and big smirk, “You guys are dumb.”

Dang… again…

It didn’t work out again? Well, let it go. Move forward with what’s up and important now – make that happen. And continue the cycle whenever it is time to do so.

When something is meant to happen, it happens. When it isn’t meant to happen, it doesn’t. And when it is meant to be, but just not yet, not now, then it doesn’t happen yet, doesn’t happen now.

Period.

Thank you, God, for this blessing and this clarity about it throughout my life, even when it did scare me a lot to watch “Final Destination”.

Bedtime

Lying on the bed, we listen to “You’ve got a lover” by Shake Russell. It was not planned. I was just looking for a YouTube version to send to someone who loved it when we had sung it the other day. But I listened to the whole thing after sending it to her. We listened. And it was a beautiful bedtime meditation. Thank you, Shake Russell. And thank you, God, for such amazing creativity and talent and artistry and work to be shared with the world and with us specifically. Amen. Amen. Amen. Praise be to God. And thanks be to Shake. Amen.

Now, go listen to it yourself: “You’ve got a lover”

I’m on a boat!

Today, we went out on the boat. It wasn’t for very long, and it wasn’t the only thing we did today, but it was great. Sure, I got terrified at points, because it’s been a long while for me, but I found what worked best for me and was able mostly to chill and have an overall awesome time. I had forgotten how comfortable I feel out moving on top of the water… it feels so home-y to me, love-filled and easy. I’m so glad we got to do it and that it went so well.

Thank you, God, for such a blessing today. I am especially grateful for how it affected him, getting to take out his boat. Thank you. Amen.
