well then, what a difference a week makes. Joey and i are now proudly a part of the "official" Grandview Heights community even going so far as to have obtained official pool passes for the fast-approaching summertime season. a week ago, i was going to bed only to lay there ruminating on all of the things i had yet to do in regards to moving, schooling, parenting, working, etc. tonight, i am able to officially check off the moving section of my TO DO list. this weekend, i had moments where i wasnt so sure that id ever be able to check it off. oh, i had a stellar crew on board making the physical transition from fairview ave to oxley rd a reality. they were workhorses and perhaps made record time in moving all of my belongings from here to there, or vice versa. and yet as the crew diminished i felt this impending heaviness sinking down as i realized the amount of work encompassing the whole unpacking aspect of moving. i thought the hard part was over, and in reality it was, but then the whole woe is me, ive gotta face the rest of this alone, thoughts began to consume me and when those are combined with utter physical and emotional exhaustion, the result is a sheer hopelessness. and yet even in this self-imposed misery, i was not forgotten or alone. not in the least bit. as Sunday dawned and i began the day in tears, i received a phone call that let me know help was on the way. friends, or rather family showed up on my doorstep mid-morning offering hugs, help, and hope (sticking with the h theme..). and somehow, they turned hopelessness into hope as my house was transformed from some rooms filled with boxes into a home with (most) things in their rightful places. peace came to me as well as to our new home. i am so thankful for people, for community, for friends who've become family. i am where i am only because of them and because of a loving Father whos orchestrated all of these details accordingly. Thanks famiLY:)
