Sleepless in NJ

So after a 6 night work week I get off Thursday morning with no breaks to a day off from work, but a full day of running errands & taking care of household chores. First stop Walmart for staples for the household, second stop house to clean & tidy up not only myself but my habitat, third stop dealership to take care of my car. Fourth stop: the bank to notarize my divorce, fifth stop, the one I enjoyed the most, meeting with my colleague from work to help me look for a new home, thanks Gilbert for helping me in my endeavor.

We were in Wanaque, NJ where the views of the mountains & the colorful trees were breath taking. The houses were nice, but unfortunately too far from one of my jobs. We looked @ a couple of places,  while looking @ these places it dawned on me, that this is my new life & that anything is possible & I was the only person who can manipulate my destiny. I was a little scared @ first, but as I posted on a previous blog- I just don't want to survive my life , I want to make my mark in the world! So with that being said, the fear became more manageable. I know that by conquering my fear & moving forward with moderate steps I can eventually leave my mark on this world.

My sixth stop, was my therapeutic & most enjoyful appointment! I went to visit my 4LW sister: Lillibeth (she lives close to Wanaque- Pompton Lakes). We ate dinner, talked, I got a chance to vent my worries regarding my most current situation, I cried I laughed & received good advice without any biases. Thank you Lilly for being a good friend & letting me vent & cry & being their to give me the support & the advice I needed. While @ Lilly's house I received a call from Bebe, my son in NM- whom seems to be doing okay & is trying to register for school. Although I don't like how things are, there is not much I can do, but be supportive of his endeavor & be here when he needs me. As for the sound advice I received from my Filipino sister, I will definitely try a little harder to focus on taking care of myself & try to let go of things & people that don't deserve my energy. I love you, Lils & will definitely visit you more often on my days off, enjoyed our conversation, even though lil Kevin was ready for me to leave!

These are my beloved sisters from 4LW, I love them & cherish them. When I'm feeling down & am ready to give up, they remind me, who I am & what I have already accomplished. We have been there for each other since September 2004. We've been through weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, floods, babies, more floods (Beth), scrapbook parties, holiday parties, honeymoons (Lils & Lo), my marriage & now my divorce. From left my heart Beth, my sassy Sharon, my comadre Joanna & to my left my conscious Lilly. I love you girls whom I call my sisters!

As for my quote for the day, I will leave you with 2:

2. Welcome to the season of doing! -Chevy
