Perfect Story

So many changes. There are times when I sit within myself and just do not know who I am. This Story People came to me today and I cried with the reminder.

Last Day

Beautiful beetle we found on Vashon

Well it's happened and what a ride!! My last day was Saturday and now I am retired. The SS and medicare appointment is soon, the land closes tomorrow, reserved a 22' flatbed to take the cabin apart and transport to Sequim, and so another chapter begins. I suppose I should post this on both blogs. That might start to get cumbersome. We'll see how it goes.

Saturday I was so fragmented. Gigantic upheavals in my life, on my path, beginning the first of the year. Time sure flies. Selling the house, buying land, falling in love with someone I've known over 30 years, retiring... whew what a journey. I love it. It can be overwhelming but I like it. I must be an Aries or something. Wow, I wonder what will happen next!!

I'm going to be very very busy. The cabin, the house, the people I love who will not have immediate access to me, my son, my love, make all of this complex. Within this I feel so alive and awake and tender.

Things Change

Well, I was going to retire the first week of April but now, I changed my mind. Now it's the 21st of February. A couple of days ago one of my bosses called me into the office to see if I wanted the privilege of deleting my line on the weekly schedule template. It's been in the same place for 10 years. There it was this little computer button and I clicked on it and felt a tiny churning sensation in my belly. A voice, "it's really happening." Yep.

Today was my last shift cashiering and I only have 3 more days of actual work left. One of them is 4 hours to go over one of my responsibilities and pass that on completely. There's been a lot of accomplishments here. I'm pretty proud of it all.

So soon, the adventure begins in even more earnest. A willingness to explore and dive into life is producing some pretty remarkable and miraculous events. Beauty, love, compassion, enchanted bewilderment, and joy. I wonder what's going to happen next!

Spring is in the air. Soon the land will close. (read all about it at Earthen Home), the cabin is ready to be disassembled and renewed, Step by step all signs point to go. So... here we go!!
