we'll try this again! alot has changed since the first of the year. Losing public job due to merger with another company. our work group has 5, counting me, to leave. the first is leaving this week and then I leave the end of October with the rest to other every couple months. with the 'lay-off' pending, we are selling our house and making a move to Southport, NC. Closer to water for DH, his pontoon and his love of fishing. Closer to the 'beachy' way of life for me!
New move calls for new life. getting rid of the old and starting off fresh. Went through the craft studio and came up with loads of yarn to donate. When I say loads, it was actually 15 large kitchen sized garbage bags! and I was fortunate to find a fantastic home for it. I thought about craigslist and placing an ad--'free for the asking'...when I opened craigslist, I felt the need to check in the 'wanted' column. Pay dirt...there is a group of ladies in the Cary area that make blankets for the sick...crocheted afghans and crocheted edging on fleece blankets. They rely solely on the donations of others their yarn stash. Hopefully my donation will help them for awhile. I feel blessed knowing how the yarn will be used.
the past 7 months have been a growing/learning experience for me and DH. we made our decision for the move and discovered the condition of my parents'. after 6 months of hard work and then having the backfire in our faces and be thrown out at the hands of the law. maybe one day i'll write the long version, but the end result...I have been able to come to terms with my childhood and movedpast the heartache and gained my voice. I have now walked away from the situation and can put head to pillow without losing any sleep...Praise the Lord!
More later...
