10/16/07 Falling apart and falling together..



So.. what a week.. beside traveling, soaking up all the beauty around us and enjoying myself and the boys as much as i can.. a few other things were just sitting unresolved..
you know how that is... sometimes you think.. for 2 hours in the middle of the night.. or drift away during the day.. thinking.. and resurface several hours later.. not knowing where in the hell you've been..

so i was really tired of managing vacation rentals of our house, the house not selling, not even getting one offer in 3 mos after we lowered the price several times, our winter in colorado was not going as planned, they wouldn't sell us season ski passes online so we were considering scrapping the whole deal, then we lost the place we wanted to rent.. blah. blah. blah..

Then in one day.. everything resolved, we found a long term tenant to rent our house, yeah the payments are covered! A friend of a friend helped us get our ski passes, done deal! We found a place to rent! Steve booked a flight to ready our place for the tenants. Oh and i was feeling lonely.. i haven't been calling my friends since i've been in Canada..

But I went to an AA meeting when we arrived in Grand Forks and met a guy and we had a mutual friend in Hermosa Beach and he invited me over the next day to meet his wife, she made us lunch and we talked for 3 hours about life and AA and our amazing lives and yoga and children and i left feeling a full heart for sure.

everything got handled.. amazing.. i felt such a lift.. at the same time i realized that only when there are problems do you learn how to be serene in the midst of drama, then when it resolves.. you really appreciated it.. when things are always smooth you don't have the appreciation or strength of character or heart.. sad but true..
