This morning I was having a real deep conversation with myself. I had been thinking for a while now that when my mom passed away that I would move to the Bahamas and sell juice on the beach. This was something Whitney Houston said she wanted to do with her daughter when the world just got to be too much. It probably would have served her well to do just that. She and her daughter might still be here. I am not that glum, but some day I do want to run away and be a complete beach bum! So my mother did pass away in April and it has been different. For a while I didn't know what to do with myself on Tuesdays Thursdays and Sundays. These were the days I went to visit her and it felt like a huge piece of my life was missing especially on those days. Even now sometimes I don't want to go right home because I feel like I need to make a pit stop to make sure she is ok, but alas...
I don't want this to be a tearful journey even though I am a bit teary eyed right now. Mostly because I still cry at a drop of a hat. SO let's visit the good stuff! Let's do bullets!
- I have been dating a really amazing guy for the past 2 years. He cooks for me, prayed with and for me, been the cheerleader I never knew I needed, given me counsel when I asked and sometimes even when I didn't and provides security that this self proclaimed independent single chick needs. Now right now I am a little mad with him and even though I spiral sometimes it really isn't that big of a deal.
- Mary J Blige "Be Happy" just came on, probably one of my favorite songs. Cause that is all anyone really wants is to be happy.
- I got a lot of much needed work done on my house, AC, dryer and roof replaced; work done in my kitchen and living room (even though it will need to be redone because something still is not right BUT we are accentuating the positives here) AND a lovely new floor!! OH and the front door. Damn that's a lot!! But my credit is good so why not??!
- I read the blog before this one, I never did get around to laying the mulch or soil. Maybe next year LOL
- I went to Paris!! Well my BFF and god kids did a world wind tour of France and Italy. I was a little to quick so I have to go back to Paris and the South of France for sure. Rome was the hood so not so much there. There is too much to explore and I am ready for it.
- Staying on the vein of Travel, I made what seems now to be an annual trip to Miami. This was for a music festival which was really pretty nice!
- Wait was that it!?!? I think that was it for the vacays. I did manage to get to Capital Jazz which I seemed to have missed for the past few years. Also, I went to Rehobeth for a few days.
- I managed to not get fired this year!! LOL The company I work for has a lot to be desired but they also saw benefit in me and let me keep my job. We all know that has been a struggle for me over the years.
- I'm still selling jewelry and I still enjoy it, but I have slowed down quite a bit.
I think that's it.
I really am looking forward to 2020!! 2019 hasn't been horrible, but it has had it's challenges as every year does. I have to get my health, my finances, and my spiritual life in order. I have some good travel on deck. AND... I will be celebrating 25 years in my illustrious sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha!! I have a ridiculous silver dress and silver shoes for the prayer breakfast next month and I just ordered another silver outfit for Boule this summer. She ready!!!!
Jeez it's been so long, how do I usually end these things?!?!? Live long and prosper!!!
