Creating my reality.......

This morning I fed my cats something called UPSTREAM DREAM by Meow Mix. Somehow that sounds a little obscene. I bet the salmon would think so too.

All the books I’ve read lately have a common theme along the lines of creating your own reality, “calling forth” what you want in life, etc. So, since I entered the HGTV’s Dream Home give-away about a zillion times, and have now determined I am not one of the 3 finalists with a key……………..I fully expect to be one of those who wins some of the “thousands” of dollars they are giving away to others tonight on the “live” show. (This journal entry is also another way of “calling forth” what I want----am I into this or what?) Anyway, look for my name!

And, since I am not the winner of the HGTV Dream Home, I am creating my own reality and searching for my dream home……….in Tennessee.

Yep.

Since Fly Boy and Fall Girl; who are about to provide me with my new baby grandson-are living in Tennessee while Fly Boy’s stationed at Ft. Campbell, I’ve decided to relocate to be near them. I am so excited about the change and I haven’t even visited the area yet! There’s really not much holding me here on my beloved mountain anymore. My oldest daughter has moved home and she also is open to the move and a new start in her life. Ab may be the holdout, but since she’s elected to make the poor choices that she has in the past year or so, (including testing positive for a seriously controlled substance this week at her school) I am not letting her vote. Perhaps such a change will do her good as well.

Fly Boy and I have been checking out new/newer houses online and the prices are unbelievable, compared to those here in inflated California. I can buy a lot more house for my money in Tennessee and maybe even afford to put in a swimming pool for Ab.

So, one of the first things to do in my retirement life is to get this house in shape to be sold. I’ve created a “To Do” list and have decided to also concentrate on de-cluttering my house; paring down my possessions. Less to move and some garage sale bucks in my pocket!

But, for now…I am heading down the mountain for a girl’s day out.

More later!
