New normals

Yesterday was my first Father’s Day without my father. I did miss calling him first thing in the morning yesterday. I missed hearing his voice and what he was up to for the day. I’m a member of a new Club now. This is my new Father’s Day normal.

We are all settled into our new apartment-home. It’s wonderful, quiet, quaint, and share-worthy. We have hosted dinner parties and have more planned. This apartment suits us and our style. What I’ve learned, however, is that the other place (sigh) had to have happened in order for us to seek and find this place. What happens to us leads us to other things…i.e. missing a green light may save you from an auto accident; and living under a heavy-footed, uncaring neighbor may direct you to Zillow.com to find a new home that is quiet and classy and with stellar neighbors (shout out to Chris & Ed.) This is thankfully our new normal.

Inspired to learn more about blogging, cooking, and entertaining, I am seeking insights and recommendations for classes, blogs, and mentors. My new normal will expand!

Life lessons happen every day. We have to recognize them and embrace them. Always look forward: to new experiences, new inspirations, new people to surround yourself with. Reading stories of others who make wise and thoughtful choices inspire me. I choose to keep moving forward and share what I learn. Living, loving, and learning are my driving forces to a happy, new normal life.
