It’s fitting that I will awaken on New Year’s Day in a new place. I moved into my friend’s beautiful loft yesterday. She practices Feng Shui and I must say the energy in this space is amazingly clear and clean. There is “happy” oozing all over the place!

I went out for dinner last night at the local brew pub with a relatively new group of people and it was quite lovely. They are energetic, upbeat, athletic. The food was wonderful, the service great, and the restaurant was abuzz with excitement for the busy night ahead.

I went to the Post Office yesterday to get a PO Box and have my mail forwarded. This way I’ll get my mail more than once a week. When the man gave me the box number, I was floored. It’s the SAME mailbox my first husband had when he joined the service! I mean, the same box in the same post office in the same town. What are the odds???

A new year. This time last year I was SO ready to turn the calendar over because then I could say he died “last year” instead of however many MONTHS it had been. I can say “a couple of years ago” now and not be far off. A line in the sand. A demarcation. A landmark. Time marches on…the sands of time blasting away the sharp edges of grief and smoothing them down into something far easier to handle. Yes, crossing this line in the sand is a good thing. Being in this space is a good thing. I am filled with endless possibilities!
