Mitzi’s Happy

Taking down the Christmas tree inspired some new decorating. I’ve put some of my favorite clutter in front of one of my living room windows. Right next to this is a little beverage station area, clearing off counter space in my kitchen.

There are days living on my own that are incredibly empowering. There are days that are incredibly hard. At times I wish there would be someone else who could help – at all. The times for me right now that I’m glad to be able to do what I need to do without argument outweigh that need.

I am great tonight as I sip hot cocoa, the dogs barking and being needy, my little corner of chaos created here in the living room. I’m good because I get to live on my own for a bit. I get to find out who I am without influence of what someone else wants or needs me to be. In that way I count myself fortunate.

Sure, I hope that one day someone else will sit with me, sipping cocoa and watching the lovely chaos of life. I think he’s out there, fortunate to be living on his own and rediscovering himself too.

I’m happy and in the place I need to be.
