Blessing High

Sounds weird, but it's the best way I can describe how I feel right now.  Good things are happening in clusters and it's making me a little giddy.

All the effort I've put into getting into the massage industry is finally coming through. In addition to the position at Elements, I am also talking to a salon/spa location in York County.  We keep missing each other and having to reschedule our appointment, but I'm hoping we actually do connect and I can really check it out.  It would be better for me to get completely away from Subway if I can.  I've already stepped down as Assistant Manager there, and am only working 2-3 days a week, so that in itself is a help.  And there's a more local place I want to talk to about renting out space so I can get a couple of local clients who would like a place to come to me instead me coming to their homes.

But there's good stuff outside of my career path, too!  I have just become a grandmother.  Years ago (don't ask me to tell the date - I'm just not good at keeping track of that sort of info - my older stepson DJ got married.  On his wedding day, I told him and Sara, his new wife, that they should take their time getting to know each other and living as a couple before they start making babies.  It was a completely selfish recommendation, to be honest - I was too young to have grandbabies!  But they assured me that they were in no rush and that was that.

I was very happy for them just after Mother's Day when I learned that they were expecting a baby.  After being broken in as a great-aunt by my niece January, I feel a little better prepared to take on the role of a grandmother - but only a little.  So, my grandson David was born on Feb 9.  I haven't met him yet, but am eager to see him for myself and cover him with kisses, and to let him know that there is one more person out there who wants all the wonderful shiny life for him that he deserves.

On a side note:  it's a little weird to me when I wake up from dreams of both husbands in the same night.  The dreams of Yaw were good, happy dreams.  The dreams of Dave were kind of neutral but had a feeling of promise in the background.  No idea what that's about, but if it actually means something, I'm sure I'll find out eventually.
