The Sweetest Revenge

Today, my heart was broken.  Today - against my will - as executrix of my mother and father's estate, I had to sign a "Listing Agreement".  Tomorrow, against my will, my mother and father's home - MY childhood home - my family's legacy from my parents - my parents' lifelong work in progress - their DREAM - will go on the market.  Did I say it was against my will? 


As I returned to my own beautiful sanctuary home




 - my heart as heavy as it has ever been - I found this on my doormat.  


Can you see it??  Can you see it???  Look closely.  

I puzzled for a few seconds as I picked it up off the mat and then I came to my senses.  Of COURSE!  My client AND friend, Linda, had painted it for me and dropped it there as she walked out of my house after working out - for me to randomly find.  Linda did not have any idea what I had to do with my heavy heart this morning.  Timing is everything, isn't it?

I also found this nearby.  

  
She is a very cool and dear person.  Did I mention creative and passionately, artistically talented?  With the hugest (is that a word?) heart?

So - I went about my day and as I was homeward bound for the final time today, I received this text from my dear friend, Missy.


And so I did.  Because that's what you do when your heart is heavy.  You tell them to stick it up their a**es deny the JOY suckers.  You stand up

and you choose JOY.  

And that is the sweetest revenge of all...

    Remember if you have children or pets they may try to play in, or drink from, the water bowl.

  6. Then a few days letter, you are feeling worse
    than ever. Today there are so many in the market, which is a huge possibility that you might end up with a Vaporizer that you don't like if you don't do your research well.

    You have probably tried all the different techniques to quit, but
    give electronic cigarettes a chance.
