When Things Go Right

Life has been a struggle as you know, and few things have gone right or my way for some time. This has led to more stress and battles than I wanted. So it is really good to have some major good news along with more issues.

A week and a half ago I was preparing to take on a flatmate that I would not be very compatible with. That was until I had a feeling that I needed to hold on as the right person was near. Later that day a young women arrived at my door. I knew in that first second that this was the right person. 

Over the next 90-minutes we viewed the house and talked, finding common ground and attitudes, and similar ways of living. I felt so relieved. The paperwork was sorted over the week and she moved in. What a change it has made.

Now the house has life again. More life than it has ever had.

There can be heard singing, laughter, words of support, and so much more. I am not the only one talking to myself, and we have long involved conversations about our lives and thoughts. We both seemed really happy.

Over that week I spent time packing up my former flatmates stuff mostly into the garage. It was no chore as it felt like life was about to move on. On the down side it has made my workshop unusable. This will last up to two weeks, an inconvenience I can live with.

It feels good to have this underway, it is clearing the space for my new flatmate, AB, who brings with her a very positive and and happy energy. This is a new energy to this house, and combined with mine it is a very good energy. There is laughter, music, singing, dancing, authentic conversations and support. It feels fantastic, and it is part of what I have needed for some time. I would go to say it is like living with a very similar younger me in the right way, and I feel like a supportive big sister. I am not a big sister with my own sister.

In fact this has lifted me up, and it was the start of a very good week. Most of the stuff is small, and yet these things are the building blocks of a good day. And good days build good weeks, and so on. It is always nice when big things go right as well, yet having a foundation of good days is always better.

And part of that is having gratitude for things in life. When things are not going right in particular, and yet I am always grateful when they go right as well, never being complacent for even those little things. And it is important to let others know you are grateful for the positive impact they have in your life.

I completed my two entries for an art expo in a few weeks. It was a step into a medium of expression I have not done before, and in that was the challenge, to get my message across within the art. The expo theme is "Depression", something I feel qualified to express my own experiences. The two pieces I feel do that. They are deep, meaningful, and dive into the darkest of my experiences. And that is a dark, deep hole in my past.
