Be & Let Be

This is one of the new phrases in my life that I am trying to adhere too.  One of the things that made me so unhappy is that I would go SO wrapped up in the stupidest little things.  Now I realize that I am not the only person in the world or honestly, amongst my group of friends that have this problem, but I am really trying tto let go.  Just because it is not my way or on my time schedule doesn’t mean that it won’t happen.  Sometimes (and this is hard for me to admit) it might actually work out for the better.  So the moral of the story, be and let be is fundamental for me at this point.  This move is DEFINITELY testing my commitment to this simple 4 word phrase.  I am not one that normally wastes a blog post on the misgivings in my world, but it has become a pretty substantial list that I had to share it.  Only in my world do these things happen to me.  

• Do you want to know where I am right now?  Sitting in Chick-fil-A using their wifi because AT&T is having a wiring issue.  By the way, it took them a week AFTER they were supposed to install our services to tell me this.  They have also proceeded to tell me that it could take up to 3 weeks for them to fix it.  Seriously…
• Bright Side: Gracie gets out of the house for a couple of hours to play in their play place and possibly with some other kids at the low cost of breakfast…this could expensive after awhile, but it’s worth the time not to browse Pinterest on my iPhone!
• We were supposed to close on our house today.  Now, because the paperwork wasn’t filed right we have to wait another week at the cost of $175 in Early Occupancy Fees to us.
• Bright Side:  I may have a visitor down to watch Gracie so we do the paperwork without stopping to explain to her what we are doing or without reminding her that the CAN be quiet for longer then 5 minutes.
• I have finally located a lawnmower (we didn’t want to buy a brand new one just yet) so we can mow the forest in the back yard.  It is now raining, for the second day in a row…
• Bright Side: We need the rain and it is quite beautiful to see the rain after living in the desert for 5 years.  It makes everything so GREEN.
• I have many, many broken or damaged things in my house.  Most importantly 2 polish pottery dishes I bought in Poland and a dressed egg dish that my grandmother gave to me on a trip home before she passed away.
• Bright Side: Even if things can’t be replaced, you still have the memories.  The things that can be replaced will be and the moving company will pay for it.
• And even though this list could go on and on, I will only give you one more…I can’t hang anything on the walls yet until we close on our house.  I feel like the house is very bare….
• Bright Side:  I have a reason to justify spending two hours in Chick-fil-A browsing Pinterest!

Alright, I think I am done.  I really don’t have much to update.  We are just trying to settle in.  I plan on picking my camera up more to take fun summer pictures rather then pictures of damages!  I will have to post some more soon.  Alright, well I am off to enjoy the rain!!!!
