• Newness, Etc.

  Friendships, both old and new, hold amazing blessings.There’s a lot to be said for long-time friendship, and there’s something exciting about forming new ones. One of the most interesting times in a friendship is the initial time of getting to know one another. I’ve been experiencing that with a new friend over the past few days, with the sharing of personal stories and life experiences.It’s been interesting listening to her stories, both happy and sad, and sharing my own. What is particularly intriguing is that she seems to find me as interesting as I find her.

  More in a moment…working on the yard sale…

  Okay, so that was a very long moment.

  The yard sale didn’t go so well, but I think we made enough to buy gas for the car for next week, which is what we were hoping for. We boxed up the yard sale leftovers and put it all in the shed to try again in a couple of weeks. Maybe.

  It’s been a really long day, starting off bright and early at 7am (well, really it started for me at 4:40am when I got a phone call from my daughter’s cell, which scared the crud out of me until I found that she had rolled over on her phone and called me accidentally) getting everything out and ready for the sale. Each time I do one, I remember why I do NOT like doing them. You’d think I’d learn. But really, it all comes down to 1. wanting to get rid of stuff, and 2. wanting to turn the aforementioned extra stuff into needed cash. It definitely isn’t my favorite way to spend a Saturday morning.

  All that said, I probably had a less tiring day than did my friends who were heading home to pack.

  I’m heading for bed, I think. Tomorrow’s another long day. Love to all.
