Rolling With It
"In spite of illness, in spite even of the archenemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintigration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways."
~Edith Wharton, A Backward Glance
I've been contentedly puttering around my new home, slowly arranging things in my nest. Saturday my husband and I celebrated our 11th anniversary. We went out for Indonesian food and had a really nice dinner in each others' company. My son is really liking the new place. We all are.
I am glad I feel really and truly present to enjoy all that I have. I'm not sleepwalking through my life anymore.
That's great. Putting things in your nest in order. Glad that you are enjoying your new home.

Lovely. Contentment truly is the goal, isn't it?

Interesting comment about the being present. I intend to find that same place in my own family. I also would like to be happy puttering around my own house fixing up the many, many things that need doing. You are my new role model.
