Sort of a New Beginning

Although I live in the extreme west of Florida in the Panhandle, the “powers that be” issued an order to clear off our patios of all furniture and plants because of Hurricanes Irma and Jose. We do not even expect rain in our forecast, but “they who must be obeyed” said we must do it. I helped some of my neighbors get their stuff indoors this morning to meet the deadline of noon.

After my pity party the other day, I have had some friends who live north offer me a place to stay during the hurricane. It really touched me that they reached out, and it made me feel regretful that I complained about being alone. I am alone, as far as family is concerned, but I do have a network of friends that has been in existence for a long time – some for as long as 55 years. I promise to remember that next time I start feeling blue.

Now that the excitement/anticipation of a hurricane is over for our area, I find that I need something else productive to do. I think this lack of productivity is the reason for my “down” feelings, lately, I do not want to sit and listen to my arteries hardening. And I will not give up doing things because of my age. I might find some way to raise a little hell to get my blood boiling.

I did ask some friends recently if they knew any practicing witches. (I have a neighbor who needs a hex placed on some of his private property, which is causing me grief.) I do not intend to make an evil request, just a little something that will aggravate for a while.

Well, back to work or "play" as it seems to be these days.
