New Address, Fresh Start

 So I went to see Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers reunion concert on October 5 at the Blockley.  Back when I was just out of college a friend of mine and I spent a few very good years following the band around at all the local hot spots in Delaware, Philly and the Jersey shore.  The concert (which I went to by myself as a display of my new independent FOR ME thing) was just what I needed.  I was very nervous about going alone, but in the end had an amazing time and am so glad I took that leap!!!

Emme and I have moved, again.  We found a very cute cottage with lots of character, just enough space for us, in a price range that is ideal for me and my new "rely on yourself so as not to be disappointed by anyone else" outlook on life :)
We (and by we I mean mostly I) am getting the place put together, going through and decluttering things - clearing out old stuff and hopefully old negative thoughts at the same time.  Meanwhile, Emme is off on a Disney vacation with her daddy and his family.  Hope she is having a great time -- hope mommy is getting a jump start on her personal journey while spending so much time on her own.

She couldn't have been more excited about the trip - and she just looks so stinkin cute, too.
Emme and I are settling in to a new routine of the two of us.  I love that kid, and she seems to be constantly reminding me that she loves me, too.  Life is good - even when I'm sad and confused and cannot get out of my own head sometimes, that bouncing ray of sunshine is there to remind me that life really is good.

So, for now, I will "just keep swimming, just keep swimming..."
