I love early
morning – it’s a lovely time for reflection. This morning as I watched the sky
and the clouds change color and the horizon brighten a wonderful thought formed
and then expanded to a joyous outcome that I simply must share…
It is a
beautiful August morning and I am in the process of beginning a whole new
chapter of my life. I am very excited!
Following is a
brief review of recent actions that are the impetus for my new beginning. In my
experience there is usually an ending of some kind before a new start begins; I
was pretty much blindsided by the ending I am experiencing.
A dear friend
of twenty-two years decided to end our friendship and did so in the most
negative of ways:
- She betrayed our friendship,
- she betrayed my trust,
- she purposely betrayed my
confidences,
- she purposely caused me to loose
my employment,
- she sneaked into my yard and stole
my precious pet and still holds him hostage,
- she called the police to trespass
me when I knocked on her door to inquire when I might see my sweet kitty,
- she takes the meanest and most
negative action and obtains a protective order against me swearing (in a
legal document) that she fears I will harm her physically or even cause
her death!
- weeks ago she trotted down and
across the street, where the two ‘neighborhood gossips’ (2 guys) were
sitting and told them lies about me.
Her betrayal
is complete!! I now perceive her as a nasty prevaricating mean old woman.
I
don’t want to see her.
I don’t want to live next door to her.
I don’t want to
have any kind of association with her.
I don’t want to ever see her again.
I
feel great pity for the toxic person she is.
Whew!
The “for
lease” sign is planted firmly in my front yard! I’ve already signed the lease
for my new digs…. There are a few loose ends to tie up and a couple of regrets
– I have mostly accepted that I will not see my sweet dear Alex the Kitty again
or be able to throw my arms around the lovely man who has been a wonderful
neighbor and role model of what/how a man should act, to my daughters when they
were young. I will be forever grateful to him for teaching me college algebra
(grade: A) during my senior year at UNLV (non-traditional student), and
reading/editing all my papers and especially my graduate thesis!!! I am
heartbroken that I will not be allowed to see him or be able to kiss his dear
sweet old cheek and tell him goodbye.
Moving boxes
are filling up, the truck is reserved, the moving crew is on alert and I’ve
just finished a couple of painted furniture projects! The ‘possibilities’ in my
new chapter’s direction are adding up daily and I am so ready to start
exploring those possibilities and ‘go with the flow’…. Life is good!
Since I am
moving from this location and I no longer have “My Buddy Alex” to inspire me or
blog about - this blog will cease….thank you for your interest dear readers.
Adieu
Julene
