I have something of a personal note to share with you, my friends. I can hear my Mother now, "I can't believe you said that"...My brother finally helped me drag in my huge Eastlake cupboard to 'the chateau', the one that has held all the mementos of my married life to 'the X'...I told myself that I wasn't going to bring it to the chateau, because of my fear of losing my home and having to ask help to take it back to my Grandmother's house where I stayed after my move back from Florida. In these uncertain financial times, the economy has not been kind to single people, especially women...especially at this age...
But I have new confidence and I am releasing it to the Universe, I am staying and that is that! But coincidence moves me to share this with you. When we moved the piece, I also grabbed a box of the packed away contents of the cupboard, why this box, who knows, but this morning as I am reloading 'the stuff' back onto the shelves of this gorgeous, golden oak masterpiece...I opened this lil' music box and this note was in it. I vaguely remember writing it out of utter frustration with my Robert Redford look-a-like, philandering husband...a note, composed by me, that told me it was over...stashed away in a charming, little, gifted music box with my favorite ballet...Swan Lake. As I read the note and the message in the porcelain swan, I reflected on how the Universe works...for some reason I feel like I have come full circle. Me, the dog and my lil' pink shack on the prairie...now, can you tell me how I can top this...yes, new life, new hope and always looking skyward...and why Swan Lake...yes, there is a message there...and I get it.
Are we not formed,
as notes of music are,
for one another.
As I am listening to the CD from the soundtrack 'Elizabeth, The Golden Age' and the coincidental music of this soundtrack of destiny, betrayal, peace and promise...I have to say thanks, thanks for letting me go, as I look to new horizons...it's gonna be a helluva ride!
I luv u Ma...
UPDATE...Scratchy 3...mouse 0...
