We started moving in over this past weekend and have run into quite a few challenges! No electricity and no heat. We were able to get the electricity to the kitchen and to the master bath as well as my daughter’s closet but nowhere else…hubbie handyman attempted to trouble shoot but it looks like it’s up to an electrician at this point! One night of working in the dark, holding a flashlight to change out an outlet then running extension cords to power a light and sleeping with no heat (wasn’t too bad it’s not quite winter!).
It’s funny, just when you think things are going all wrong….I completely felt so happy and blessed. Day 1 of our move, we spot two neighbor kids on horseback 3 dogs running alongside and 2 other kids walking with them. I’ve never seen my two children run so fast getting on their socks and shoes and racing down the street to say hi and meet new friends. They immediately got acquainted and trotted off around the dirt block with the kids, horses and dogs. And that’s when I smiled and really thought; things are going to be great! Just wish I had my camera to take a picture of them all prancing down the street, such a happy sight.
Another simple joy, when I awoke the first morning, hearing the rooster crow, I caught a glimpse of the sun coming up.
The house may be old and tiny, the land may be dirt right now, but my family is happy and all together and that’s what really counts.
Count your blessings each and every day.
